Madam Speaker, I thank all the members who, as I said at the beginning of my speech, contributed today. They have really helped to inform me about this particular issue. I will be the first to admit that when I walked into this chamber this morning I did not understand the great depth to which people were being persecuted. I am much more aware of that now, as a result of the deliberation that has happened here.
I absolutely think that Canada needs to send a strong message. In any case, when acts such as what we have been made aware of are happening, there is a very important role for Canada to play in terms of delivering a strong message, whatever that might be, and at whatever time it might be warranted.
