Thank you, Madam Chair.
Minister, I am going to ask you a question that may be a little out of context, but it is of considerable interest to me.
You rightly denounce human rights violations by the Taliban, and in fact I congratulate you and thank you for that. We have to stand up in the face of that and denounce it at every opportunity. That said, I am thinking of other human rights violations occurring in other jurisdictions. We know that the Qataris, for example, are helping the Government of Canada send its messages to the Taliban, this being diplomatic aid that they offer us.
Is that aid the reason why the Government of Canada has never, in any forum, publicly denounced human rights violations in Qatar, particularly when it had the opportunity to do so during the last World Cup?
