We recognize and value the role of this committee, as well as the Senate committee--I had an opportunity to appear in front of the Senate committee--as a really key player in the broader process of examining the issues of importance to Canadians and as you hear from civil society and aboriginal organizations in your hearings.
If the committee wishes to make specific recommendations to the government about its role, they would, of course, be considered. I'm not in the position to speak on the government's behalf on this matter, but I can assure the committee that we're still looking at effective processes for the UPR. So there is an openness to look at mechanisms that in fact will be workable and effective.
