தமிழ் பேசும் கனடிய பாராளுமன்ற உறுப்பினர் ஹரி ஆனந்தசங்கரி தமிழினப் படுகொலை நினைவாக நேற்று கனடிய பாராளுமன்றத்தில் உரையாற்றினார்
“Mr. Speaker,
I rise today to mark Tamil Genocide Remembrance Day. Tamils around the world stand in solidarity with the victims, survivors, and their families in the North and East of Sri Lanka to ensure that we find the truth, hold those responsible for atrocities accountable, and attain justice and peace.
This past January, our government imposed sanctions on four Sri Lankan officials, including Mahinda Rajapaksa and Gotabaya Rajapaksa—both credibly accused of war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide. These past presidents of Sri Lanka have blood on their hands and cannot evade justice. As part of our Indo-Pacific Strategy, Canada reaffirmed our resolve to ensure accountability on the island. Canada will continue to demand accountability by working with multi-lateral partners, including the United Nations Human Rights Council.
Mr. Speaker, as we mark this day, let us also ensure that the Tamils’ inherent right to self-determination in their homeland is entrenched and they attain peace and security.
Thank you Mr. Speaker.”
