Thank you.
I will take five minutes.
Professor Ritter, you said your recommendation going forward is “steady as she goes”, eliminate the small and what you characterized as ineffective CIDA involvement.
We've heard others whose analysis of the situation in Cuba is similar to your own, but who have more robust prescriptions, who suggest that we should make a robust, diplomatic, and as well public focus, calling on the regime and using Canada's equity with Cuba to encourage the regime to release political prisoners, in particular those who were arrested in 2005.
That's been the recommendation of FOCAL, the Christian Labour Association, the Cuban social democratic party here, as well as other NGOs. Do you disagree or do you differ from that recommendation? They all say that Canada has not been sufficiently robust in publicly demanding the release of political prisoners. Would you agree with that assessment, and do you think we could do more in that regard? Briefly.
