I heard a couple of words here, and that's why I need to talk about it.
Under no circumstances was the stature of Mr. Diouf challenged. We all recognize he's a very important individual. He is the head of the Francophonie, and therefore he is coming out here for a very important conference. That is why the Government of Canada had expressed their regret. Otherwise, if Mr. Diouf was not an important individual and did not have a diplomatic passport, we would have not expressed a regret, but we have. The Government of Canada has expressed regret.
The only other issue that came out over here was about racial profiling, and I don't think it was racial profiling on this issue. I don't think we should go to the fact that it was racial profiling. I agree that the Foreign Minister of Senegal may have said that, but the fact of the matter is there was due respect given to Mr. Diouf. We expect that he enjoyed his stay. We have expressed all our regrets; we have said the word “regret”. I think it's time to move forward and close the incident.
Therefore, I will say, let's call the question, Mr. Chair.
