We must respect Cuba's right to solve its own problems. Since the revolution, external interventions have sought to change the country's regime, but things should not be done in that way. There is a real need to put pressure on international forums so that Cuba can choose its own path.
The prisoners are people paid by a foreign government to overthrow the Cuban government. They are not political prisoners, they are common prisoners. I really think that in order to help the Cubans, we must allow them to live without external pressure, especially from the United States. They are investing millions of dollars to overthrow the Cuban government and bring Cuba back. If this ever happened, it would be a true disaster: it would mean war. The Cubans are ready to defend themselves. We would then have a situation like the one that we are now facing in Iraq and Afghanistan. Canada must not go down that road.
