Madam Speaker, my second petition today is about the Falun Gong Canadians who are in Canada, who continue to be persecuted by the CCP. The petitioners are drawing the attention of the House to the work of the late Canadian lawyer David Matas and a former Canadian secretary of state for Asia-Pacific, the late and great David Kilgour, who conducted an investigation in 2006. They concluded that the CCP regime and its agencies throughout China have been putting to death a large number, in the tens of thousands, of Falun Gong prisoners of conscience and their vital organs have been seized involuntarily for sale at a high price.
The petitioners are also drawing the attention of this House to the fact that the European Parliament passed a resolution condemning organ harvesting abuses in China. They are asking the government to publicly call for an end to the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners in China, amend Canadian legislation to combat forced organ harvesting, and pass a resolution to establish measures to stop the CCP's systemic crimes against Falun Gong.
