Thank you.
Prime Minister Harper did not attend the 2013 commonwealth heads of government meeting held in Sri Lanka because of the country's poor human rights record. Some close Canadian allies, including Great Britain, Australia, and New Zealand, chose to attend. In your view, what was the effect of the decision by Prime Minister Harper, the Prime Minister of India and the Premier of Mauritius, not to attend the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting, and what is your assessment of the impact of British Prime Minister David Cameron's efforts to call attention to continuing impunity in Sri Lanka at the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting?
