Thank you, Madam Chair, and thank you for the questions, because you've been a big advocate for the people of Sri Lanka. A lot of concern has been expressed. We are concerned. I have been asked about what we are doing.
In a very concrete way, we are quite aware of the allegations of human rights violations that were committed by General Silva during the armed conflict. As you know, we have been, I think, a leading voice around the world to call out the Sri Lankan government with respect to accountability to end impunity, and certainly to advance reconciliation.
We have expressed our concern in particular with the withdrawal of the Sri Lankan government's support for the UN Human Rights Council resolution on Sri Lanka, and we have urged the Sri Lankan government to continue providing the UN with access.
I was asked earlier what we are doing concretely. This is very concrete and this is the type of thing that the world listens to when Canada speaks around the world. We will continue to raise these issues. We do them respectfully. We do them forcefully, but we do them guided by our core principles and our values.
