Dear Prime Minister Chrétien:

Re: Falun Dafa

I have had the pleasure of a recent visit from Ms. Alice Huynh of the Falun Dafa Association of Canada. She reviewed a number of concerns with me regarding the ongoing human rights abuse in the Peoples Republic of China in relation to Falun Dafa.

I am writing to express my support for her efforts to ensure basic democratic freedoms are afforded to all citizens of China. I want to urge the Government of Canada to continue to pressure China to respect the basic rights of its citizens and view diversity as a strength rather than a threat.

I thank you for your assistance with this issue.

Yours truly,

Mayor John W. Morgan, B.Sc., M.B.A./LL.B.
