Speaker, I move without notice:
That the House -
(1) notes that the United Nations' International Day of the World's Indigenous People is observed on August 9 each year;
(2) further notes that in 2004 the UN General Assembly proclaimed the Second International Decade of the World's Indigenous People from 2005 to 2014;
(3) acknowledges that the decade's goal was to further strengthen international co-operation for solving problems faced by indigenous peoples in areas such as culture, education, health, human rights, the environment and social and economic development;
(4) recognises that observance of this day is to promote and protect the rights of the world's indigenous population;
(5) further recognises that the event also acknowledges the achievements and contributions that indigenous people make to improve world issues such as environmental protection; and
(6) calls on all to participate in observing this day to spread the UN's message on indigenous people.
Agreed to.
