Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
In early January, Pascal Hudon was arrested in Mexico and found to be in possession of Mayan pottery. Although this young Quebecker is far from being a trafficker in art objects, the Canadian government was slow to react, and a consul was sent only last weekend.
Can the Minister of Foreign Affairs give us a report on what measures of diplomatic protection have been provided by the consul, and on the conditions under which this Quebec national is being detained?
