Foreign Ministry has issued a statement condemning the passage of Bill 104 in Ontario, also known as the ‘Tamil Genocide Education Week’ bill, claiming it was based on a flawed premise, unfounded assumptions and blatant lies reports Tamil Guardian on May 8. The passage of the bill on May 6 recognizes Sri Lanka’s genocide against Tamils and establishes May 11 to 18 as a week in which Ontarians “are encouraged to educate themselves about, and to maintain their awareness of, the Tamil genocide and other genocides that have occurred in world history.” May 18, also known as 'Tamil Genocide Day' will mark 12 years since tens of thousands of Tamils were killed in a military offensive by the Sri Lankan state during the final months of the armed conflict with Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE).
