Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
The government's carelessness in the Tran Trieu Quan matter has gone on for too long. The day before last, in an about-face designed to give the impression it is acting on this matter, the government asked Vietnamese authorities to demand that Paul Morgan be extradited. Just last week however, they claimed the matter was in the hands of Mr. Quan's counsel.
Given that the government is dragging its feet in this matter and failed to act until a reporter tracked down Paul Morgan, could the
minister tell us what the government and the RCMP were doing during all that time?
