You're correct that Canadian Heritage would lead on the reporting that would go to the UN about our domestic implementation of human rights. That's a job undertaken between the Department of Canadian Heritage, the Department of Justice and Global Affairs Canada. It would be hard to say for certain. In those cases where we're reporting to treaty bodies and where we're reporting to the UN on Canada's own domestic implementation of the treaties we have signed onto, and with regard to other issues we may need to report to the UN, that is done by a domestic body. In this case, I think it would take more than just Global Affairs Canada's pulling together such a list and making sure we have the proper names and all of the circumstances. It would be bit broader than only Global Affairs Canada—as a tentative understanding of how things are drafted currently.
