Thank you, Chair.
Mr. Sproule, this is a most intriguing situation. Did the Canadian government decide that the elections in Belarus were fraudulent prior to the elections or after election day?
Was there something that happened on the day that caused the decision to be made, or was it the activities prior to that? Was it the outcome of the vote that gave rise to the notion that it must have been fraudulent? No explanation has really been given about that.
