Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to begin by pointing out that I found the question from our NDP colleague particularly interesting given that you appear to have a variable-geometry vision of the defence and promotion of human rights, and also of whether or not you are authorized to comment publicly on a personal basis.
I'll repeat my question, Mr. Ambassador.
Would you say that secularism as practised in France, for example, has a discriminatory component and contravenes the Universal Declaration of Human Rights?
