Thank you.
My colleague Mr. Paul‑Hus was saying he really appreciated what the minister said in his opening remarks. I will tell you that I also greatly appreciated some parts of his opening remarks, especially concerning the Uighur situation. I thought I detected in the minister's remarks a recognition of certain facts concerning, for instance, the forced sterilization of Uighur women.
When I listened to the minister, I thought I heard the various parameters defined in the declaration on genocide. In light of the minister's statement today, what is still preventing Canada from recognizing that a genocide is indeed taking place in Xinjiang?
