Celebrate the Month of May, as the "Falun Dafa Month"

Whereas: Falun Dafa teaches cultivation of body and mind, and has inspired millions of people to better themselves morally, since its introduction to the public in 1992, by Mr. Li Hongzhi;
Whereas: transcending racial and cultural barriers, Falun Dafa is practiced by people of all ages, all walks of life and religious beliefs;
Whereas: Falun Dafa is unjustly persecuted in China and its practitioners try to peacefully establish their right to freedom of conscience and belief;
Whereas: Falun Dafa practitioners in the communities across Canada celebrate the month of Falun Dafa with parades and other public activities.
Accordingly I, Michel Guimond, Member of Parliament for the Bloc Quebecois Party, Hereby, proclaim the month of May 2010 as the:
