Madam Speaker, I am pleased to present a petition from people in and around Calgary.
The petitioners are concerned about the way Falun Gong practitioners have been treated in China for more than two decades. They call upon the government to apply the Magnitsky act to end the largest and deadliest persecution of Chinese citizens since the cultural revolution.
The petition states that Chinese Communist Party corrupt officials have orchestrated the torture and killing of large numbers of people who practise Falun Gong, including the killing of practitioners on a mass scale for their vital organs to fuel the communist regime's organ transplant trade. The petitioners want the Canadian government to take a more active role in ending this.
