Statement by Judy Wasylycia-Leis


[May 1, 2006]

Ms. Judy Wasylycia-Leis (Winnipeg North, NDP): [Wasylycia-Leis.J@parl.gc.ca ]

Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the remarks made by the Minister of Foreign Affairs. As he knows, we have just marked Holocaust Memorial Day. On that occasion we heard from many noted members of the Jewish community, who in particular have a lot to teach us in terms of genocide. Darfur, in fact, represents the first genocide of the 21st century. That I think helps bring all of this into perspective.
