Mr. Speaker, Canadian citizen, Huseyin Celil, has been imprisoned in China on trumped up charges since 2006.
Before the Prime Minister heads to China, I want to remind him of his own words on the Celil case. The Prime Minister said:
--I don't think Canadians want us to sell out important Canadian values.... They don't want us to sell that out to the almighty dollar.
Canadians agree.
Will the Prime Minister use this trip to China to do what he knows Canadians expect and ask for the release of Mr. Celil?
