Hon Deputy Speaker, I move without notice:
That the House -
1) notes that the United Nations (UN) World Refugee Day is observed on 20 June each year;
2) further notes that the day was designated by the UN High Commissioner for Refugees in order to bring attention to the plight of approximately 40 million refugees around the world;
3) honours the courage, strength and determination of women, men and children who are forced to flee their homes under threat of persecution, conflict and violence;
4) believes that it is also a day to highlight the contributions of refugees in their society; and
5) calls upon government and civil society to highlight the plight of refugees and to advocate on their behalf.
Agreed to.
