Mr. Chair, I would suggest that my colleague opposite was not paying much attention.
My colleague from Esquimalt—Juan de Fuca has been an outspoken critic and advocate for resolving the situation in Darfur. His eloquence has prevailed widely. He has impacted government policy when there were no UN resolutions mandating us to resolve the situation. The Canadian government responded to the African Union before there were UN resolutions asking us to do it.
The member has been in the vanguard of trying to address and advocate for the people of Darfur. I resent any suggestion that it is otherwise.
