Mr. Speaker, there have been discussions among the parties and if you seek it, I believe you will find unanimous consent to adopt the following motion:
That the House recognize that:
(a) China is carrying out a policy of systemic cultural assimilation against Tibetans;
(b) Tibetans, as a people and a nation, can claim the right to self-determination;
(c) as such, they are empowered to freely choose their economic, social, cultural and religious policies without interference from any external power; and
(d) this empowerment prohibits China from interfering in the choice of the next Tibetan spiritual leader, the eventual successor to His Holiness the 14th Dalai lama.
