Thank you, honourable member.
With regard to other African countries, particularly in East Africa, we have recognized a failure to denounce the Ugandan government's attitude toward LGBTI rights. In fact, Amnesty International released a report about 18 months ago that showed that, across 12 countries in Africa, we have copycat legislation that is aimed at restricting the rights of LGBTI individuals, and in many instances we have the threat of similar legislation.
We are definitely noticing a trend where African countries are not calling out Uganda, but in fact there is a danger that there will be a spread of similar legislation across the continent.
