I understand, but a number of NGO representatives have come to tell us, in committee, that this was causing issues for them because they feared prosecution. You can look at the committee evidence, where that is written in black and white. If those people have such fears, they must be helped.
Following a lot of testimony we heard in committee on the difficulty of delivering humanitarian assistance in Afghanistan, I moved a motion, a month ago, asking that NGOs be assured that they will not be prosecuted, so as to enable them to play their cooperation and humanitarian assistance roles in the areas most at risk. NGOs themselves told us that such a motion would be welcomed. The next day, I moved my motion. It was your party, the Liberal party, that refused to adopt it. All the other opposition parties were in agreement. Even members of your party told me they agreed with the motion. Unfortunately, your party said no to unanimous consent.
So, if I were to once again move that motion, could I count on you to put pressure on your colleagues, so that they would not oppose it this time?
