Mr. Speaker, as my hon. colleague pointed out, Canada has a record that is second to none on the international stage when it comes to standing up for human rights. We see that enshrined in our charter, and it informs all our government's policies.
When it comes to standing up for equality of opportunity, prosperity, the right to express oneself, the right to due process, these are values which Canada will defend to the last. I am proud to say that in that fight, Israel is a proud friend. I mentioned the many examples in which we co-operate, but it is on the basis of these shared values that our friendship will continue to be very strong.
