Mr. Speaker, over the past few months the Government of Zimbabwe has continued to crack down on opposition forces. A proposed media ban will restrict journalists who violate new regulations. New land seizures are continuing and the independence of the judiciary has been violated.
I ask the Secretary of State for Latin America and Africa, what steps is Canada considering to signal our strong disapproval of these measures? Are we likely to impose travel and investment sanctions against the Mugabe government, similar to what is being considered in the United States?
