Thank you, witnesses, for your time and your presentations.
Vietnam's government continues to violate a broad range of human rights. There are approximately 220,000 people of Vietnamese heritage in Canada. The Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development reports that Canada and Vietnam maintain good bilateral relations. But these continuing testimonies of Vietnam violating the human rights of its citizens are very startling.
In your opinion, how much of the problem in Vietnam can be attributed to corruption?
