Thank you, Mr. Chair.
The questions that were raised today are quite important, especially on the issues of human trafficking and child trafficking, because those are things we're all concerned about, wherever in the world they take place. We certainly can't single out any countries, because we know this is happening throughout the world. We even hear cases of it happening here in Canada. So we're very much alarmed and concerned about the whole issue of both human trafficking and child trafficking.
When you speak about the untouchables, the Dalits, which you say represent about 180 million people, we know that India is a democracy--it's the world's largest democracy--and 180 million people represent a sizable amount of the population and a sizable voting bloc. What is the representation they have? I was told that in fact there are ministers from the Dalit community as well, so the impression I'm getting is that they have no voice, but in fact they do have some voice because they're able to vote in India, because it's a democracy.
