Mr. Chair, I appreciate the hon. member for Mississauga—Streetsville's remarks this evening. He has, on a number of occasions, pointed out the unanimous resolution of the House of Commons tonight and that is very important. I want to focus on one particular clause of that unanimous resolution and that is clause (i) which says that all parliamentarians, all Canadians, “stand in solidarity with those who aspire for peace, democratic governance and the protection of human rights” in Syria.
Could he expand a bit more on the protection of human rights, especially the rights of minority religious groups in Syria and what we expect to see from a future democratically elected government of Syria?
