We appreciate MP Sameer Zuberi stating clearly for the record that it is time to reconsider how the notwithstanding clause is used.
We look forward to working with every government,
With every party,
And with every Canadian and Quebecer to make sure that Bill 21 is defeated.
The time has come for leading jurists, lawmakers, and civil society leaders to come together and discuss the place of the notwithstanding clause in our democratic system.
This week, #Canada took an important step in the fight against the human rights violations of Uyghurs in East Turkestan.
The motion to resettle 10,000 Uyghur minorities in Canada,
Introduced by MP Sameer Zuberi, passed with unanimous support.
This is a welcome step in the urgent fight for #Uyghur human rights.
Thank you to the many community organizations and Uyghur community leaders who rallied for this, and to MP Zuberi for championing it in the house.
"Today was a historic moment as the House of Commons voted unanimously to support a plan that would resettle to Canada 10,000 Uyghur Muslims who have been displaced by horrible conditions in China.
"Thank you Sameer Zuberi for all your leadership in moving this motion forward."
