Of course, it's complicity. It's giving up our own sovereignty as an independent country with the right to have bilateral relations with Cuba, as we have had uninterrupted for more than 80 years now. Cuba has always been a very good partner to Canada. They do everything on the basis of mutual respect and mutual benefit.
There is a lot of opportunity right now for Canada to invest in infrastructure and development projects and get tourism going again. In terms of the biopharma industry and scientific research, Cuba is a world leader. There are medical breakthroughs—a new Alzheimer's treatment and cancer vaccines. These are all things that Cuba has developed despite its lack of resources and that Canada could be working with Cuba on right now. It's a missed opportunity.
Putting aside the fact that we don't want to be complicit in what the United States is doing to Cuba and the Cuban people right now, this is a time for Canada to take a different path and do the right thing: take a mutually beneficial step and maintain the ties between our two countries, which we have had for more than eight decades.
