Mr. Speaker, I rise to present several petitions in the House today. They were all spearheaded by one of my constituents, Pat Derbyshire, and reflect her genuine concern for human rights and protecting the environment internationally.

Mr. Speaker, the second petition I have is talking about companies that are based in Canada but operating elsewhere in the world, committing human rights abuse, doing environmental damage or not operating with integrity. The undersigned citizens are calling on the House of Commons to require companies to prevent adverse human rights impacts and environmental damage throughout their global operations and supply chains, to do its due diligence and make sure there are meaningful consequences for those companies that fail to carry out and report with due diligence and to establish a legal right for people who have been harmed to seek justice in Canadian courts.
