The petitioners express their appreciation of the ban on the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, LTTE, by the Government of Canada in 2006, following similar action taken by the U.S.A., India, the U.K. and the EU, which designated this group as a terrorist organization.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1005859\" data-originallang=\"en\">In summary, the petitioners respectfully seek that Canada fully cooperate with the legal and democratically elected government of Sri Lanka and that it live up to its legal obligations in combating international terrorism and take all measures to prevent the raising of funds within this jurisdiction for terrorist warfare in Sri Lanka. I am pleased to table this petition for the consideration and necessary action of the House.</p>",

J'ai le plaisir de d\u00e9poser cette p\u00e9tition pour que la Chambre l'examine et prenne les mesures n\u00e9cessaires.</p>"
