Thank you, Mr. Chair. I thank the witnesses for their very informative presentations.
I believe the fund contributes to very positive results in the prevention and reduction of the number of deaths.
In one of its reports, the fund establishes a link between the criminalization of homosexuality and the spread of HIV-AIDS. It also reports that two factors contribute to the increase of mortality rates among homosexuals: the criminalization of homosexuality and the fact that education on HIV-AIDS is not linked to education on sexual orientation.
Do you believe that Canada is doing enough internationally to encourage countries to decriminalize homosexuality? Should Canada insist on decriminalization as a condition of providing assistance?
