11月28日下午,由加拿大華裔國會議員鄒至蕙提交的291議案在國會表決中以全票通過,291議案要求日本政府向二戰期間的慰安婦正式道歉,並承認責任。
根據電視新聞的報道:四位遠道而來的慰安婦知道議案得以通過都深表安慰。來至中國山西的劉麵煥老婆婆表示:心情很好。陪同劉婆婆來的律師康健說,謝謝加拿大政府的支持。加國的多元文化部長表示:我們要避免曆史的重演。
附:291議案(最後定案或有改動):
M-291 tabled by MP Olivia Chow before the House of Commons states:
"That, in the opinion of the House, the government should urge the Prime Minister and the Parliament of Japan to: (a) pass a resolution in the Diet to formally apologize to the women who were coerced into military sexual slavery during the Second World War and were euphemized as "comfort women" by the Japanese Imperial Army; and (b) to provide just and honorable compensation to these victims."
