Contrary to what the member just said, no apology was made. Even though it has been said and resaid, I must insist on the fact that the Government of Senegal has demanded that we do so. I was there. The Senegalese ambassador demanded an apology. I spoke to him. That is the situation.
I will have to see these people again within the framework of the Francophonie. Having this swept under the rug like this is extremely embarrassing, to say the least. I think it is very important for the committee to do this. We are directly involved in this situation.
I waited to meet with the minister before introducing my motion, which has been ready since June 13. You will remember that I asked for a more in-depth explanation. But we did not get anything. I think that the motion is still timely, unfortunately, and that the only way to move forward is to vote on it.
