Mr. Speaker, yesterday Mr. Win, democratically elected Prime Minister of the provisional government of the Union of Burma, which is prevented from taking office by a military junta, was the guest of the human rights committee. The committee members learned that Burma has one of the worst human rights records in Asia, and holds hundreds of people prisoner for political reasons, including a Nobel peace prize winner.
My question is for the Deputy Prime Minister. Could she tell us whether the Canadian government intends to agree to the main request of the National Democracy League and oppose any form of financial support to the military junta through various UN agencies?
