OTTAWA—The Conservatives are calling for the House of Commons to formally declare crimes against minority Muslims in China a genocide.

They’re tabling a motion in the House of Commons today, which calls on Canada to take the same stand against China’s treatment of Uighur Muslims as other countries have already done.
