Madam Deputy Speaker, I move without notice:
That the House -
1) notes that 16 November will mark the 14th annual International Day for Tolerance, an initiative originated by Unesco in 1995;
2) further notes that the core purpose of this initiative is to build tolerance and trust in diverse communities mainly through education;
3) recognises that intolerance is often rooted in ignorance and fear of the unknown and of the "other", such as other cultures, religions and nations, and that intolerance is also closely linked to an exaggerated sense of self-worth and pride as well as notions taught and learned at an early age; and 4) acknowledges that the promotion of tolerance should be the priority of not only the government but also that of every citizen and that in order to promote tolerance public awareness should be generated with emphasis on the dangers of intolerance.
Agreed to.
