Madam Speaker, because the Burmese people have shown such great courage in the face of the violence perpetrated against them, the Bloc Québécois wants to show its support for them. They continue to hope that their country will be liberated from the military forces subjecting them to an authoritarian regime. In the interest of protecting democracy and human rights, the Bloc Québécois joins the other opposition parties in tabling this petition.

Madam Speaker, I am pleased to join colleagues from other parties in presenting a petition regarding the horrific situation in Burma. The petition is an effort by various Burmese communities and contains a number of asks, including strengthening sanctions, calling on insurance companies to stop providing insurance covering deliveries of aviation fuel to Burma, oil and gas sanctions, support for the opposition, engagement with the opposition groups, and support for pluralistic and inclusive democratic development, including all communities, such as Rohingya. I am pleased to join members of all parties in this important work and to advocate for the people of Burma and for democracy there.
