Because we have so many studies going on, we're not going to get into this in a timely fashion, I would suggest, because of all the other commitments that our committee is making, and rightly so. Would it not be better if Madame Barbot were to put forth a strongly worded statement that would come from this committee being critical of the Burmese government or requesting the Canadian government to do a few things? That way we could get a strongly worded statement on the issue of Burma now when it is timely, rather than waiting sometime into the next spring or summer, because that's realistically when we'll get to this.
On November 20th, 2007. See this statement in context.
