Madam Speaker, last month, honourable members voted overwhelmingly to support a motion from Canada's Conservatives on Communist China. Our motion called on the government to recognize that a genocide is currently being carried out by the People's Republic of China against Uighurs and other Turkic Muslims in China.
Today it is my honour to table a petition from Canadians across this country that calls on the government to formally recognize that Uighurs in China have been and are being subjected to genocide. Canadians are once again calling on the Liberal government to follow Parliament's lead by recognizing the Uighur genocide.
It is time for this government to respect the will of this place as well as the will of Canadians.
