Thank you, Minister. I feel that you've been very clear with our position on China, and also with what I'm going to ask you about Belarus.
On November 5, 2020, an independent expert report on Belarus was prepared under the auspices of the OSCE. I want to thank the Honourable Hedy Fry for all her hard work there at the OSCE on behalf of Canada. Thank you, Hedy.
In that report, they found that on August 9, 2020, the presidential elections were not transparent, free or fair, and that there have been beyond any doubt major human rights abuses carried out by the Belarusian state against its own people.
Minister, what impact, if any, might this report have on the international community's response to the events unfolding in Belarus?
