I was worried about the human rights situation in this country before, and after your report I'm even more worried. Thank you for that very informative presentation.
The question that has long plagued me is why is it that there is an uneven defence of human rights internationally by our government, but also by other governments? You would think there'd be a relationship between the level of blatant disregard for human rights and the level of effort the Canadian government would make in order to put pressure.
In this particular case, I'd like to get your opinion as to why it is that our efforts have perhaps not been as strong as they should be.
