Thank you for recognizing me, Mr. Chairman. It is very much appreciated.

Ladies and gentlemen, good morning.

I find rather peculiar your requests concerning public statements about the 60 detainees who are presently incarcerated in Cuba.

Have you asked Canada or the U.S. to free the five Cubans who were sentenced to prison? Have you made representations on behalf of those five Cubans who are imprisoned in the United States without any reason? Did you make such representations?
