Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the hon. member for Don Valley North for bringing to the attention of the House a serious breach in election law that took in Armenia.
Canada is one of the few countries that actually sent observers as part of the OSCE team. We have now undertaken to represent to the OSCE that there should be a full scale assessment given to the government of Armenia and ask it for a clear answer to the criticisms of that breach of the process.
We have also conveyed directly to the Armenian ambassador here our very deep concern about the breach of the rights of certain people in the assembly in Armenia and we hope to have a response from that government soon. If we do not get a response I can assure the hon. member and other members of the House that we will take all the actions necessary to make sure the democratic process is respected in that country.
