Mr. Speaker, the problem is that when the Prime Minister was asked what he was doing to raise the issue of human rights in China, he said, and I am not joking, that he was holding press conferences with Canadian journalists.
News flash: that is what the Prime Minister does every time he travels; he talks to Canadian journalists.
Could the minister tell us exactly what the Prime Minister is doing, aside from media scrums, to raise the issue of human rights in China?
Any free trade agreement must include respect for human rights.
