這是加拿大國會衆議院提出並通過的第一個關於法輪功的動議案(Private Motion)。這項動議案是由國會議員斯格特.瑞德先生提出,並由國會全體通過。
國會議員瑞德辦公室對全體通過此項動議非常高興,並指出:這種動議案在衆議院內得到所有黨派的全體通過,這在加拿大國會內是罕見的。
動議案譯文如下:
衆議院認爲,加拿大總理應該利用在亞太經濟合作會議(APEC)和中國主席江澤民會見時單獨提出有關在中國仍然被監禁的十三名法輪功學員加拿大親屬一事,並強調如果這些人(即:何立志、逯秀珍、彭天雄、吳佔忠、黃秀超、邱柏、楊越麗、金洋濤、黃劍剛、黃廣壽、林鳴立、鄭州、孫長正)能夠和他們在加拿大的家庭重新團聚的話,加拿大人才將願意加強現有的中、加貿易和資助紐帶。

FROM THE OFFICE OF SCOTT REID, MP
PRIVATE MEMBERS MOTION (M-236)
A RESOLUTION ON FALUN GONG
That, in the opinion of this House, the Prime Minister should take advantage of his upcoming meeting with President Jiang Zemin of China at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation [APEC] Conference to privately raise the issue of the continued imprisonment in China of thirteen [13] Falun Gong practitioners who have close family ties to Canada, and to emphasize that Canadians would be more willing to strengthen existing trade and aid ties between Canada and China if these individuals (namely, Lizhi He; Xiuzhen Lu; Tianxiong Peng; Zhanzhong Wu; Xiuchao Huang; Bo Qiu; Yueli Yang; Yangtao Jin; Jiangang Huang; Guangshou Huang; Mingli Lin; Zhou Zheng; and Changzheng Sun) were re-united with their families in Canada.
