Mr. Chair, I'd like to echo the comments of my colleagues who spoke before me. First, I just want to say that, in principle, I completely agree with the motion. I believe that common sense tells us to support this type of motion. However, I have some concerns about the timing of the motion, since—I'm reminding Mr. Genuis—we were supposed to spend a few meetings discussing the specific situation in Tibet. This motion may not be comprehensive enough in terms of everything that we want to recommend to the government regarding the situation in Tibet.
I don't want to start a debate in front of Mr. Sangay. However, I think that this way of proceeding, which always involves facing a fait accompli with the presentation of motions, undermines the atmosphere of trust among the committee members.
I believe that we should try to avoid this type of process. As I said a few moments ago, it prevents us from establishing this atmosphere of trust, which would help us move further towards the goal that we all want to achieve.
Once again, we've ended up in this type of situation. We must discuss this issue in front of Mr. Sangay, which I find particularly improper. I want to assure Mr. Sangay that I support the idea of recommending a dialogue between the Government of the People's Republic of China and the Tibetan authorities.
We wanted to take a closer and more in-depth look at the situation in Tibet. Therefore, at this point, the motion seems very incomplete and very inadequate when it comes to all the recommendations that we may want to make to the government.
I'll finish on that note, Mr. Chair.
