Mr. Speaker, once again the government is turning a blind eye to Canadians abroad who are in trouble.
Pavel Kulisek has spent 13 months in a Mexican prison. He was publicly declared a criminal before the sole witness against him even made a statement. The Minister of State for Foreign Affairs says that he does not feel this issue even warrants talking to the Mexican ambassador, let alone formally raising it with the Mexican government.
When will the government stop picking and choosing as to which Canadians it defends when Canadians are in trouble abroad?
