Leader of Canada's Opposition Party Writes Letter of Support
December 11, 2001
Dear Ms. (name withheld):
Thank you very much for your email of November 21st. I
appreciate you taking the time to keep me up to date on your efforts on behalf
of those arrested in China for practising Falun Gong.
As you may well know, Scott Reid, Canadian Alliance Member of
Parliament for Lanark-Carlen, as well as other members of our caucus, have taken
a keen interest in the safety and well-being of those detained for practising
Falun Gong. I am deeply troubled over the treatment that these individuals
receive and sincerely hope for a peaceful resolution that sees the human rights
of those who practice Falun Gong respected.
Like you, the Canadian Alliance believes that Canada can and
should play a major role in fostering and protecting human rights. We will
continue to speak out against human rights abuses around the world, and will do
what we can to bring pressure to bear on those governments in a way which will
benefit their citizens and global neighbours.
Thank you once again for getting in touch with me.
Respectfully yours, Stockwell Day, M.P.
Leader of the Opposition
