About Canada's Parliamentary Friends of Tibet (PFT)
The Parliamentary Friends of Tibet is an
all-party group of Members of Parliament and Senators. Formed in 1990 by
parliamentarians who were concerned about the situation in Tibet, PFT has
had dozens of members over the years.
PFT has become the voice for Canadian support
for Tibet in parliament and government. The group and its members
actively encourage greater respect for fundamental human rights and
freedoms for the Tibetan people. They support His Holiness the Dalai
Lama's non-violent conflict resolution efforts to achieve genuine
autonomy for Tibetans through negotiations with China.
PFT also seeks to strengthen Canadian government
support for a just and principled policy approach to the issue. PFT
collaborates with similar parliamentary groups around the world and is a
key player at the World Parliamentarians Conference on Tibet forum.
