Mr. Speaker, let us be clear. This contract was signed under the previous government. During the election, the Conservatives, the Liberals, and the NDP committed to honouring the contract. In fact, the leader of the NDP said, “You don't cancel a commercial accord retroactively; it's just not done”.
Our Prime Minister has made it very clear that we will not weaken Canada's credibility by tearing up this contract.
The release of the report on Friday was the first of many steps we will be taking to provide greater transparency on human rights assessments.
