That's extremely well said. I've said time and time again that we cannot substitute trade relationships for our diplomatic and human rights relationships.
I think it would be important that this list contain information on what Canada is doing to advocate for detained Canadian citizens. I also right now think about dual citizens. I think many of us are seized with the horrific work that's being done by the Parliament of Uganda right now, and the risks towards members of the SOGIE community. It's horrendous.
Human rights organizations and families of Canadian citizens detained abroad have repeatedly expressed concern that they're not getting adequate information or communication from the government about their family members' cases. We've heard that time and time again. I think everyone in this room could list a number of people whom we would like to get more information on. We've seen this in many consular cases.
Would you be open to an amendment that would require the government, in an annual report, to describe the efforts of the minister and what the minister has done to improve consistency, transparency and accountability to families?
