Speaker, I move without notice:
That the House -
1) notes that World Consumer Rights Day is celebrated annually on March 15 and is an occasion for celebration and solidarity within the international consumer movement;
2) further notes that the theme for World Consumer Rights Day 2013 is Consumer Justice Now!;
3) acknowledges that this theme has also been chosen to coincide with the update of the United Nations' Guidelines on Consumer Protection (UNGCP) which will be working with its members to feed in proposals on how the Guidelines can better address the concerns of today's consumers; and
Hon members on my right, can you please allow the speaker to be heard. Continue, hon member.
I continue ...
4) calls on all consumers to use the occasion to expose the very real damage caused by poor or non-existent consumer protection around the world and demand that their basic rights as consumers are respected and protected, and to protest the market abuses and social injustices which undermine them.
I thank you.
Agreed to.
