The motion calls on the house to note their concern about the allegations raised in the Canadian report, Bloody Harvest: Report into Allegations of Organ Harvesting of Falun Gong Practitioners in China, that was first published in 2006.

The two lawyers concluded that practitioners of the ancient meditation and exercise practice were indeed being used to service a lucrative and burgeoning transplant industry.
