Mr. Speaker, if I understand the first part of his question, the member is making a request on behalf of democratic peoples who are fighting for the return of democracy in Burma? Do I understand him correctly?
I met their leaders yesterday, and they asked me just about the opposite of what the member is asking today. They asked that financial support be granted not to the government but to non-governmental agencies. The Canadian government offered the democracy movement the resources of the Human Rights Commission, here in Montreal. We are, of course, aware of their request and are taking it into consideration.
