Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to rise on behalf of petitioners who have asked that the government recognize the very real pain that is being inflicted upon Falun Gong practitioners by the repressive government in Beijing. Recent events include a bomb and shooting threats targeting Shen Yun, a classical Chinese dance and music performance presented globally by the Falun Gong community that showcases traditional China before Communism and exposes these atrocities.
The petitioners publicly call on the Chinese regime to end its persecution of Falun Gong and to end transnational repression abroad.
I would like to thank the petitioners who were key to this: Mike and his friend Kelloway. I would certainly be open to meeting with the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Transport, either in his office or in my study, to further discuss the petition.
I wish everyone a good summer.
