Sri Lanka have rejected media reports concerning the Private Member Bill 104 presented in 2019 to the Ontario Legislative Assembly, the High Commission of Sri Lanka in Ottawa said in a statement.

The authorities have also been urged to consider a balanced view and not to be swayed by prejudicial viewpoints propagated by certain anti-Sri Lanka activists in Canada.

The High Commission and the Consulate General in Toronto continue engagement in this regard with both the Federal and Provincial Authorities. Sri Lanka’s firm protest against the blatantly false claims being made in the Bill including the grossly exaggerated number of casualties at the conclusion of the conflict in Sri Lanka and allegations of “genocide” have been conveyed.

It is observed that several Sri Lanka groups and individuals in Canada have also engaged the Canadian authorities against the misrepresentations in the politically motivated Private Member Bill.

The Missions in Canada will continue to remain engaged with relevant organizations during the process.

Ontario government that respect real democracy and multicultural in practice should decide whether or not to listen those who are associated with those promote war criminals and ethnic crimes in their origin country

Time has come that Sri Lankan government must take evidence based stand against any form of accusations against Sri Lanka.Left over LTTE kitty is full to buy support for its claims.

In the absence of LTTE and because of the current regime in Colombo, it is going to be a hard battle abroad.

All Tamil Canadian Citizens estimated at 350,000 mostly living in Scarborough, Ontario is responsible for this anti Sri Lankan bill. Sri Lankan government must act appropriately. The wimpy and passive approaches so far adopted by the high commission and the SL government is more damaging. Therefore SL government must immediately take appropriate actions to prohibit every TAMIL CANADIAN with Canadian Passport entering SRi Lanka. It will be the appropriate action.

Cancel dual passports of Tamil Canadians. Why do they need Sri Lankan passport. They should be banned from entering Sri Lanka. They left claiming they were under threat, so why come back then.
