Madam Speaker, I have two petitions to present, both substantially the same.
The petitioners take note that the Magnitsky law, or the Justice for Victims of Corrupt Foreign Officials Act, exists in Canada and sanctions officials for gross violations of human rights. They take note that for the last 21 years, China's communist parties have tortured and killed large numbers of those who practice Falun Gong.
The petitioners therefore call upon the Government of Canada to sanction a number of Chinese officials listed in the petition.
