Mr. Speaker, this year marks the sixth anniversary of the battle of Mullivaikkal, in the Sri Lankan war, in May 2009.
I stand with the thousands of Tamils who lost family members in the final stages of the Sri Lankan genocide. This humanitarian catastrophe saw thousands of civilians shelled by the Sri Lanka government as they escaped the no-fire zone. According to the United Nations, between 40,000 and 70,000 Tamil civilians were killed during the final phase of the war in Sri Lanka. The Sri Lankan government has still failed to show progress in ensuring justice for the victims of these terrible human rights crimes.
During the month of May, Tamil Canadians from coast to coast to coast will gather to participate in multi-faith memorial services to honour their loved ones. It is also a time to reflect on the principles of peace, democracy, and equality that we are able to enjoy here in Canada.
I am proud of the many contributions Tamil Canadians have made in our country. They have embraced our cultural landscape, exemplifying the very best of the Canadian community spirit.
Monsieur le Président, cette année marque le sixième anniversaire de la bataille de Mullivaikkal, qui a eu lieu en mai 2009, pendant la guerre sri lankaise.
Je suis de tout coeur avec les milliers de Tamouls qui ont perdu des proches alors que le génocide sri lankais tirait à sa fin. Pendant cette crise humanitaire, des milliers de civils ont été bombardés par le gouvernement sri lankais alors qu'ils fuyaient la zone de cessez-le-feu. Selon les Nations Unies, entre 40 000 et 70 000 civils tamouls ont été tués pendant la dernière partie de la guerre au Sri Lanka. Le gouvernement sri lankais ne s'est toujours pas assuré que justice soit faite pour les victimes de ces horribles crimes contre les droits de la personne.
Tout au long du mois de mai, des Canadiens d'origine tamoule de l'ensemble du pays se réuniront et honoreront la mémoire de leurs proches lors de services commémoratifs multiconfessionnels. C'est aussi l'occasion de songer à la paix, à la démocratie et à l'égalité dont nous jouissons ici, au Canada.
Je suis fier de ce que les Canadiens d'origine tamoule ont apporté à notre société. Ils ont adopté notre paysage culturel et sont un exemple de l'esprit communautaire canadien à son meilleur.
