Mr. Speaker, I would like to offer the government an opportunity to clarify for the House its position on human rights and trade.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs will remember that a few years ago the Prime Minister stated during a visit to his riding of Shawinigan, when asked what our position was, that it depended on the size of the country we are dealing with. In other words, name me your country and I will name you my principles.
I would like to know what is the position of this government with regard to trade and human rights.
