Thanks for being here.
I want to express the deep concern of every member here about the Jewish minority there. In fact, I've heard right in my constituency office from those who are trying to immigrate to Canada.
I'm really concerned when an interior justice minister says he feels the police department there is responsible for 15% to 20% of the country's crimes, and the most violent ones. To take it even a step further, you mentioned in your remarks that Minister Kent had talked about Oswaldo Álvarez Paz, who was taken into custody. When even the elites are not exempt from this kind of punitive measure, that tells me there's quite an iron fist developing as far as anybody's capability to speak out and exercise freedom of expression or human rights goes.
You talked specifically about the Organization of American States, and you said you believed the OAS could and should take an active role in providing support to strengthen nascent or fragile democratic institutions. How would the OAS do that? What tools do they have at their fingertips? How would they go about that activity?
