Madam Speaker, we were just treated to quite a string of words that were meant simply to evade the question of whether the Minister of Foreign Affairs supports the motion.
The minister's Liberal colleagues who sit on the Subcommittee on International Human Rights have used the term “genocide”. Three of his Liberal colleagues have signed an open letter that was released on February 6 entitled “The Games of Shame” that also uses the term “genocide”. To make this as clear as possible, does the Minister of Foreign Affairs support the position of his colleagues who are calling the treatment of the Uighurs in Xinjiang “genocide”?
