Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I think all of us have agreed that the situation in Burma is quite appalling and horrific, and what's taking place there is beyond imagination.
I just wanted to make sure this committee had a statement that in fact we are very much worried and concerned, and that we condemn the actions of the military junta in Burma.
I put the motion forward; it's in both English and French. I have heard there might be some issues of concern about how the motion is worded. I think “whereas” might not be the norm, but I'm not sure if that's an issue.
If there are any other points that need to be changed in terms of the English to French translation, I'm quite willing to accept whatever they are—I think the Bloc might have some issues. I think they would constitute a friendly amendment, and I don't see any problem.
