Mr. Speaker, William Sampson and Zahra Kazemi, that is the Liberal record on consular affairs.
From the day that Huseyin Celil was detained in Uzbekistan in March 2006 we were completely preoccupied with the case. The actions of this government on that matter have been endorsed by the World Uyghur Congress, the Uyghur Canadian Association, the lawyers for Mr. Celil, Amnesty International, and Mr. Celil's family.
If the Liberals were in power, we know what they would be doing about a Canadian in prison behind bars in China.
