Mr. Speaker, the final petition I will table today deals with the situation of religious and ethnic minorities in Afghanistan. I will note that signatures were gathered prior to the fall of Afghanistan to the Taliban, and even prior to that point there were significant challenges facing Afghanistan's Sikh and Hindu communities, as well as other minorities. The petitioners at the time were calling on the government to take action on these issues, and sadly, the challenges have gotten even worse for ethnic and religious minorities. The petitioners want the Government of Canada to remain seized with those challenges and to stand up for religious minority communities and all people of Afghanistan.
