Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister wants to see democracy in Cuba. The Canadian people want to see democracy in Cuba. Canada has enjoyed 50 years of unbroken relations with Cuba that served both our countries and the rest of the world.
Now is the time to build on all that we accomplished with the Cuban people to help them work toward a more democratic and open society with greater freedoms.
It is up to the Cubans to do that, but Canadians are well placed to help them get there under the leadership of the Prime Minister.
