Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank the hon. member.
Until a Canadian government is willing and able to take on this role, however, we can do what Motion No. 410 calls on us to do. Real economic sanctions, actually imposed, can have a big effect. They had that effect on South Africa during the time of apartheid. This particular divestiture relates only to the Government of Canada and not to holdings from pension funds of companies which deal with Sudan and Iran, or even the delisting of such companies from stock exchanges, both of which the U.S. has threatened.
For Iran, Sudan and Darfur, Motion No. 410 represents a useful step, a step that begins to take us down the hard and elusive path to answers Sudan and Darfur need, to answers the world needs.
