Mr. Speaker, I want to remind my hon. colleague that the case of Huseyin Celil is important to our government. He knows that he has been in detention there for 10 years. What did the previous government do? If it were that simple, why did the previous government not solve this case?
All I ask from the hon. member is some humility. I am not suggesting that there is no room for debate here.
Let us talk about extradition. Our foreign affairs minister was very clear that there is no negotiation ongoing right now. We learned today in The Globe and Mail that the previous government sent 300 individuals back to China for prosecution. Let us not fool ourselves. We do not want Canada to be a safe haven for criminals, but we also must ensure that when dealing with the Chinese government, it knows what Canadians expect and what the Canadian government expects. We expect human rights to be upheld both domestically and abroad.
