I'm trying to figure out a way that I can support this. Obviously, I want Canada to renew its candidacy at the UN Human Rights Council, but I have problems as well with the council as is.
So a friendly amendment, if it's acceptable, is that after it says, “and show its support”, I would say, “and show its support for reforming and strengthening the council”. That way I could support it. Otherwise I could not support it as is, because I think the council as it is needs some serious reform. A lot of issues are going on there. It's gone into bloc voting from certain countries that have an axe to grind against certain western democracies.
Some human rights professors, including ones I've taken courses from, tell me it's worse than it was before, when it was the commission.
