Mr. Speaker, the next petition I have today is from Canadians from across this country who are calling on the Government of Canada to impose Magnitsky sanctions on leaders in the Chinese Communist Party. The petitioners are calling for the recognition of the treatment of the Falun Gong using state apparatus, including the extrajudicial torture and killing of Falun Gong practitioners in large numbers over the last 19 years.
Therefore, the petitioners are calling on the Government of Canada to deploy all legal sanctions, including the Magnitsky act and barring entry to Canada, against the perpetrators of the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners.
