Thank you very much, Mr. Sifton, for your testimony and all the good work you do at Human Rights Watch. We are reliant upon people like you, who are able to collaborate with those in the know, on the ground, and get us some clear information on what is really happening. Thank you as well for the cogent way in which you described how there are seemingly two parallel governments working here between the military and the government of Aung San Suu Kyi.
I would also like to say, Mr. Chair, that the case of Burma is a little different from other cases where the Government of Canada has focused its foreign policy to try to help a nation through the travails of what was a military junta into democracy, in the sense that the president herself is an honorary citizen of our country.
I think my colleague's questioning in regard to her position indicates some extra investment that we have in this country's being successful in its process of transition, with the leader of the governing party being someone we can be proud of, an honorary Canadian citizen.
In that respect, Mr. Sifton, I wanted to ask you, do you still hold to your 2012 position that what happened to the Rohingya was essentially ethnic cleansing?
