With regard to my immigration recommendation--and I'm sorry I didn't have the time to go through it--I think Ms. Desloges is the best person to recommend in this field.
I will say just one thing about immigration. In May 1939, there was a ship by the name of the St. Louis that came to the shores of Canada filled with Jewish people running from the Holocaust. Our Prime Minister at that time, Mackenzie King, who used to speak to the ghost of his mother and who used to ask his dog about foreign affairs, turned them around, and most of them were killed in the Holocaust. I don't believe that Canada can afford another St. Louis on its conscience. This is number one.
With regard to the foreign affairs recommendation, part of my recommendation was to link the trade and aid with improvement of the human rights record in these countries. For example, we made a commitment to give Iraq $300 million between the years 2003 and 2010, besides the $269 million in exports to Iraq and imports of $1.5 billion. Exports to Pakistan are $450 million, imports are $243 million, and aid is $49.78 million. Exports to Egypt are $348 million, imports are $161 million, and aid is $25.8 million. That's all from taxes collected from the Canadian people, and I don't think the Canadian people want to hear that their tax money is going to support governments that are going to persecute minorities.
What you can do is not cut the aid or the exports or imports, because if you cut the aid, you've lost your power and the pressure on them, but you can make it connected to the improvements. So if they improve, the aid increases, the exports increase, and the imports increase. If they do not improve their record, then start to downgrade the relationship, the aid and all of it. This can be a great support to the minorities there.
