Mr. Speaker, the second petition, and my colleagues have presented petitions on this, highlights the situation in the Tigray region of Ethiopia. Petitioners and concerned Canadians are highlighting the situation in Ethiopia, in Tigray and more broadly. They are calling for an end to conflict, restraint from all sides, humanitarian access, independent monitoring and international investigations around credible reports of war crimes and gross violations of human rights. They want to see the Government of Canada engage directly with the Ethiopian and Eritrean governments regarding this conflict and promote short-, medium- and long-term election monitoring.
