Throughout this year, our sense has been that the international community has been stumbling a bit to keep pace with the changes happening in Egypt. We saw that even at the very outset as the revolution, as it's come to be called, began to take place. First, the western community, very much including Canada, was caught off guard. But second, it was slow to get with what was happening. There was reluctance to give up on Hosni Mubarak. There was nervousness about fully and unconditionally supporting the demands for democratic change that were unfolding. Countries, eventually also including Canada, finally did get with the program and caught up to it.
Now, again, things are shifting a bit. Obviously, as we move into a phase of elections, and given the fact that decidedly religious parties, the Muslim Brotherhood being an obvious example, are so prominent, governments have again been left feeling a little bit off base and not knowing too much how to react. That's why we're putting in front of the Egyptian government, and in front of the entire international community, this human rights framework. This is the recipe for real change in Egypt. What countries really need to focus on now is not nuanced positions and being equivocal about what's unfolding. They need to focus on taking a strong position on these key human rights concerns.
