The Canadian Labour Congress urges Prime Minister Carney to reaffirm his July 30 statement to recognize the State of Palestine at the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly this month.
“Canada has an opportunity and a responsibility to be a voice for peace. In times of conflict, our commitment to diplomacy, international law, and human rights must guide our actions toward a just and lasting resolution,” said CLC President Bea Bruske in a letter to the Prime Minister in June, which also called for a complete stop to military operations in Gaza and the immediate facilitation of humanitarian aid.
