Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
We have heard extensive testimony today about the plight of political prisoners, the conditions of detention for Cuban journalists, racial discrimination, and the particular plight of elderly prisoners of conscience with health problems.
This question is for any of the witnesses who wish to respond, although Mr. Caner Camejo's speech touched particularly on these points. What has been the effect of Canadian policy with respect to Cuba? Has it helped to protect the situation of human rights in Cuba? If not, what do you think the Canadian government could be doing to assist in the question of those human rights violations in respect of which these allegations have been made?
