Government: Issues Minorities and Canadian Government

government: Rempel said the Canadian government has to speak out on these issues, according to Metro News. LGBTQ minorities, especially in Iran, have been one of the most persecuted groups of people on Earth, she said. Calgary Conservative MP Michelle Rempel is sponsoring the petition, which demands that the government to condemn attacks against LGBTQ minorities in both Iran and Chechnya. Horrible stories of persecution against LGBTQ communities in Chechnya have emerged recently, with reports of people being assaulted and even killed for being gay. The program has been renewed on a rotating basis, but groups want the government to commit to it permanently. Parliament has been studying a program that allows for LGBT groups in Canada to help sponsor refugees from around the world. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
