Petition to the House of Commons
Whereas:
1. India is the worlds largest Democracy and hundreds of thousands of people of Indian decent now call Canada home.
2. Tens of thousands of Canadians of which many have a direct connection to farmers in India are concerned about the safety of farmers in particular from the Punjab who are protesting domestic legislative changes affecting their livelihoods.
3. Canada will respect the legislative independence of sovereign nations, but Canada must always stand for the protection of fundamental freedoms both at home and around the world as peacefully protesting is a fundamental right in a democracy.
We, the undersigned residents of the Province of Manitoba call upon Canadian parliamentarians to stand in support of Indian farmers who choose to have peaceful protests on the issues of farming and more.
