Mr. Speaker, the third is a petition that is being presented in the context of the deteriorating political situation in Pakistan, concerning democracy, human rights and the safety of Canadian Pakistanis who have been vocal in their support for these causes.
Those who have signed this petition ask the Government of Canada to call for an immediate inquiry into the tragic events of November 26, 2024, in which the military regime opened fire on unarmed protesters, as well as an inquiry into the tainted February 2024 general elections. They call for the immediate release of Imran Khan and other political prisoners in Pakistan. They ask the Government of Canada to issue a statement in solidarity with the restoration of the people's mandate and democratic governance in Pakistan.
