Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Foreign Affairs.

For weeks a young Canadian has been on a hunger strike in the United States to protest the move by U.S. customs to impound a shipment of computers en route to Cuba from Canada. What action has the minister taken to help this young Canadian and make sure these computers, which have been sent for humanitarian purposes, make their way to Cuba?
