Mr. Speaker, I would point out that the ministers of this department are working directly in this case. The Minister for International Cooperation, this minister, the former Minister of International Cooperation, myself, the ambassador in Vietnam and members of our consular service are all directly engaged in ensuring that the rights of Mr. Tran are respected.
We are continuing to make all representations that we can, but we are dealing with a country that has its own rules, its own laws and is sovereign. All we can do is make every effort possible for them to change their position, which we will continue to do. We cannot force them to do it but we will continue to do everything in our power to make that happen.
I have one specific example. When I was in Ukraine a month ago, I made specific representations to that government to ensure that it would provide direct evidence dealing with the case of Mr. Morgan who is an alleged accomplice in this case. We are establishing a worldwide net to try to come to grips with ways in which we can assist Mr. Tran in his very serious circumstances.
