Mr. Speaker, unfortunately there has been little progress, if any, over the past year on these issues. Over 1,000 political prisoners still remain in prison. Political freedoms are non-existent. There have been no reported meetings in the last six months between Aung San Suu Kyi and Burma's ruling generals.
We have no choice as the Government of Canada but to continue our economic and political measures. We continue to call on Canadian companies not to trade with or invest with the regime until the situation changes.
