カナダ下院は２８日、第２次大戦時の「従軍慰安婦」問題をめぐり日本政府に謝罪を求める決議案を全会一致で採択した。法的拘束力はないが、カナダ政府が日本に必要な措置をとるよう求めている。

決議は「旧日本軍は性的強制労働の目的で女性の徴用を命じた」とし、日本が全被害者に「正式で誠意のある謝罪」をするよう求める内容。

今年３月に下院の小委員会が採択した決議案では、日本が学校教科書に慰安婦の事実を記述することも求めていたが、最終的にはその部分は削除され、非難色が薄められた。

決議案は今年３月、当時の安倍首相による慰安婦をめぐる発言が報じられた後、野党の新民主党の中国系女性議員が提出していた。今年７月、米下院も日本の謝罪を求める決議を採択している。

７月にアメリカ下院が従軍慰安婦問題に対する日本の謝罪を要求する決議を採択。
今月の8日には、オランダ下院も決議を採択。そしてこんどはカナダ下院が決議を採択ですかぁ……。日本に対する謝罪要求が安倍前総理の狭義の強制性否定発言以降、国際的広がりをみせています…orz

原文　2007年11月28日15時30分（カナダ時間）採択。

Motions

By unanimous consent, Ms. Chow (Trinity―Spadina), seconded by Mr. Devolin (Haliburton―Kawartha Lakes―Brock) and, by unanimous consent, by Mr. Lee (Scarborough―Rouge River) and Ms. Faille (Vaudreuil-Soulanges), moved, ― That, in the opinion of the House:

i. During its wartime occupation of Asia and the Pacific Islands, from the 1930s through the duration of World War II, the Imperial Armed Forces of Japan officially commissioned the acquisition of young women for the sole purpose of sexual servitude, who became known as “comfort women”; and

ii. Some Japanese public officials have recently expressed a regrettable desire to dilute or rescind the 1993 statement by Chief Cabinet Secretary Yohei Kono on the “comfort women”, which expressed the Government's sincere apologies and remorse for their ordeal; and

iii. Japan has made progress since 1945 in recognizing and atoning for its past actions, and for many decades has been a major contributor to international peace, security, and development, including through the United Nations; and

iv. The Canada-Japan alliance continues to be based on shared vital interests and values in the Asia-Pacific region, including the preservation and promotion of political and economic freedoms, support for human rights and democratic institutions, and the securing of prosperity for the people of both countries and the international community; and

v. The government of Canada should therefore encourage the government of Japan to abandon any statement which devalues the expression of regret from the Kono Statement of 1993; to clearly and publicly refute any claims that the sexual enslavement and trafficking of the “comfort women” for the Japanese lmperial Forces never occurred; to take full responsibility for the involvement of the Japanese Imperial Forces in the system of forced prostitution, including through a formal and sincere apology expressed in the Diet to all of those who were victims; and to continue to address those affected in a spirit of reconciliation.

The question was put on the motion and it was agreed to.
