Madam Speaker, I am tabling eight petitions in the House today. The member for Kingston and the Islands wants me to table more. I am gathering signatures on a day of solidarity with him after his struggles over being blocked on Twitter, but I do not have that petition today. People can find that petition online to sign. I have eight other petitions.
The first petition I am tabling calls on the government to list Iran's IRGC, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, as a terrorist organization.
The petitioners note that, in response to the storming of Capitol Hill in January 2021, the Liberal government listed Proud Boys as a terrorist organization within less than a month, thus demonstrating an ability to move quickly and efficiently in listing a terrorist organization. However, it has been nearly three years since a motion passed in this House calling for the listing of the IRGC as a terrorist entity. No action has been taken by the government.
The petitioners call on the government to immediately list the IRGC as a terrorist entity and to explain why there has been a three-year delay.
