Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Deputy Prime Minister.
A Canadian citizen, Tran Trieu Quan, has been a prisoner in Vietnam for close to two years now, despite the fact that the Canadian government believes he is imprisoned on trumped up charges. The Prime Minister promised to look into the case personally upon his return from Vietnam in November, 1994.
What explanation does the Deputy Prime Minister have for the fact, that more than a year after the Prime Minister's Asian mission, the situation remains unchanged, despite a recent commitment by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Mr. Tran Trieu Quan still remains a prisoner in Vietnam?
