Madam Speaker, the third petition highlights the situation in the Tigray region of Ethiopia. It highlights credible reports of war crimes, such as indiscriminate shelling of civilian towns and villages, extrajudicial killings, at least one large-scale massacre, looting and sexual violence. Petitioners are calling for greater engagement by the Government of Canada in terms of seeking justice, humanitarian support, humanitarian access and appropriate investigations. Petitioners also call on the government to promote short-, medium- and long-term election monitoring in Ethiopia.
