Madam Speaker, I have three petitions to present today. The first petition is from Canadians who are very concerned with the case of Hassan Diab, who spent three years mostly in solitary confinement in France without charge. The petitioners are calling on the Government of Canada to formally declare that Canada will neither accept nor agree to any second request from the French government for Hassan Diab's extradition.

Madam Speaker, the second petition I am tabling today has over 17,000 signatures, and it is from Canadian citizens who are very concerned about the war crimes and the crimes against humanity since October 2023. The people who have signed this petition are asking for sanctions on the Government of Israel and for the return of all hostages. They note that there is generational trauma being caused by this occupation, and they ask for the Government of Canada to please take action. The final petition I am tabling today is calling on the Government of Canada to continue funding for UNRWA amid the horrifying crisis we are seeing in Gaza and to make sure the that support for humanitarian principles is expressed very clearly by the government.
