Canada passes motion rejecting China's sovereignty claim over Taiwan

The Canadian House of Commons has passed a motion unanimously affirming that UN Resolution 2758 does not grant the People's Republic of China (PRC) sovereignty over Taiwan, nor does it decide Taiwan's future involvement in the UN or other international organizations.

According to the Taipei Times, the motion, introduced by Yves Perron, president of the Bloc Quebecois, was said to have been unanimously agreed upon by all parties prior to the meeting on November 7.

While reading the motion in French, he stated that Canada and Taiwan are strengthening their relationship, with growing economic and cultural exchanges. The two sides are also collaborating in areas such as bilateral trade, investment, technology, education, youth exchanges, industry, art, culture, and indigenous peoples' affairs.
