SUMMARY
This enactment acknowledges that persons of Croatian origin were interned in Canada during the First World War under the authority of an Act of Parliament and expresses the deep sorrow of Parliament for that event.
The enactment provides for negotiations to take place between the Government of Canada and the Committee on Education, Culture and Heritage of the Canadian-Croatian Chamber of Commerce in respect of measures that may be taken to recognize the internment. These measures may include the installation of commemorative plaques as well as public education initiatives.
The enactment also allows a request to be made to the Canada Post Corporation for the issue of a commemorative stamp or set of stamps.
