Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Deputy Prime Minister.
Today we are all very much aware of the role that Canada has played in fostering democracy in the world and the price that Canada has paid.
Yesterday, June 5, was the fifth anniversary of the massacre in Tiananmen Square in Beijing. According to Amnesty International there continues to be very serious human rights violations in China. There were over 1,400 executions last year.
Does the Deputy Prime Minister's government have a specific plan to pursue the human rights abuses with China on either a national or a multilateral level?
