Thank you @acoyne for this report. @cppib is making all of us, pension recipients, complicit in China’s ongoing #UyghurGenocide, #UyghurForcedLabour, transnational repression, digital surveillance through its reckless investments in China. theglobeandmail.com/opinion/articl…
Thank you, @SameerZuberi, for keeping this important Canadian promise in focus. We still have a long way to go to fulfill Canada’s commitment to resettle vulnerable Uyghur refugees—individuals who have fled the ongoing genocide and continue to face transnational repression,…
Today, I met deeply vulnerable Uyghurs who recently arrived in Canada, to safety and security. It was a moving experience after years of advocacy, and the unanimous passage of my motion M-62 in the House of Commons, to resettle 10,000 Uyghurs from third countries. (1/2)

Happy Canada Day May our country prosper for all Canadians and for people around the world. May Canada continue to be a beacon of hope to which many can cling. May Canada remain a source of peace, justice, and equality for all.
Canada stands at a critical juncture in its efforts to expand trade and diversify its economic activities. However, China’s persistent overtures, often cloaked in superficial goodwill, demand cautious scrutiny. Canada must not overlook the recent execution of its citizens,…

It was an honour to join my colleagues @SameerZuberi and @DanMuysMP in welcoming 70 new Canadians from the Uyghur community.
Canada remains committed to protecting innocent civilians everywhere and continuing our work to uphold human rights at home and abroad. To our new neighbours: welcome home. You are now part of the Canadian family. 🇨🇦 #cdnpoli #canada
I feel deep sympathy for the innocent people in the Middle East and Iran who are caught in the middle and suffering. However, I have no sympathy for the regimes and their leaders who, to this day, openly support China’s ongoing genocide against Muslim Uyghurs. They have aligned…

I’m seeing chaos in many places. Somehow, it feels like there’s a global agreement to appease the #CCP .
Pleasant surprise running into the Premier of Manitoba, Hon. @WabKinew. @WabKinew and I have been exchanging emails for over five years and have spoken many times by phone. Today, we met in person for the first time on the streets of Ottawa. Safe trip back to Winnipeg.
