Steven Blaney, député de Lévis-Bellechasse (Conservateur) - Mr. Speaker, the brother and father of 16 years old Aqsa Parvez plead guilty yesterday to murdering her. Pourquoi a-t-elle été tuée? Parce qu'elle refusait de porter le hidjab et que son père y aurait vu un acte de défiance et d'autonomie des femmes attirant ainsi la honte sur lui. C'est inacceptable. Will the Minister of Citizenship and Immigration tell the House our Conservative government's position on honor killings like this one? Est-ce que le multiculturalisme est une excuse pour les crimes d'honneur? L'hon. Jason Kenney, Ministre de la Citoyenneté, de l'Immigration et du Multiculturalisme - Merci de la question Monsieur le Président. Non, ce n'est pas une excuse et il faut être clair, Monsieur le Président, que l'approche du multiculturalisme ne justifie jamais de tels crimes particulièrement les crimes contre les femmes, les crimes d'honneur. C'est la raison pour laquelle on a inclus dans le nouveau guide de la citoyenneté Découvrir le Canada, la suivante : « Au Canada, les hommes et les femmes sont égaux devant la loi. L'ouverture et la générosité du Canada excluent les pratiques barbares qui tolèrent la violence conjugale, les meurtres d'honneur, la mutilation sexuelle des femmes ou d'autres actes de violence fondée sur le sexe » que nous condamnons Monsieur le Président.

John Weston Monsieur President, our government learned last Friday of vicious attacks on the Ahmadi Muslims in Lahore, Pakistan. Our government was deeply disturbed by this and we would like to offer our deepest condolences to those who lost their loved ones in these terrible attacks. These acts were clearly motivated by hatred. Victims were targeted based solely on their faith, which is completely unacceptable. Would the Minister of Foreign Affairs please inform the House what our government is doing to address the issues facing the Ahmadi Muslims in Lahore and attacks on minorities around the world? Minister Cannon Thank you Mr. Speaker and I thank my colleague. Our government condemns last Friday's barbaric attacks on worshippers at two mosques in Lahore. We are urging Pakistani authorities to ensure equal rights for members of minority communities. Mr. Speaker, we will continue to work with Pakistan and our allies to bring peace and stability to this country and additionally my colleague from Edmonton—Sherwood Park will be putting forward a motion to this House officially condemning these acts. Our government actively works with countries around the world to promote freedom, democracy and the rule of law and particularly, religious freedom.

Mr. Bob Dechert (Mississauga—Erindale, CPC): Mr. Speaker, this June marks the 25th anniversary of Canada's worst act of terrorism, the Air India attack of 1985. On June 23, Canadians across the country remember this terrible act on Canada's National Day of Remembrance for Victims of Terrorism. Events are being planned across Canada, as well as in Ireland, to honour the hundreds of people killed during this act of terrorism. Last week, we were deeply disturbed to hear that the Toronto monument to these victims had been vandalized. In 2007 the Prime Minister and other leaders joined Air India families to unveil this important memorial where the names of the 329 victims are etched. The Toronto memorial faces the memorial in Ahakista, Ireland where the plane went down. We are very pleased to hear that the monument will be restored in time to mark next month's anniversary. I believe I speak on behalf of all parties and all Canadians when I condemn the vandalism of this monument.
