Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
On October 4 I asked the Minister of Foreign Affairs to raise with the Vietnamese government the case of nine religious, academic and cultural leaders then in prison in Vietnam. I am happy to say that two of these prisoners have now been released and they have arrived in North America.
Could the minister assure the House that he would continue the policy of quiet diplomacy on behalf of the remaining members of the group still in prison?
