Madam Chair, the people on the ground are very aware of them as well, as are members of the House, but awareness is not sufficient when someone is a government minister. I hope that we hear more and that more action is taken on that.
I want to return to a question my colleague asked, with respect to the Beijing Olympics. The Minister of Foreign Affairs said, “No decision has been made about who will represent the government”. The House has already unanimously voted on seeking the relocation of the 2022 Beijing Olympics. If the Olympics proceed in Beijing, my contention would be that the Government of Canada should decline any invitation to have the government officially represented at those events as long as the Uighur genocide is ongoing.
Is the government prepared to say no to sending representatives to Olympic games that are happening in a country that is committing genocide, or has the government decided to send a representative, but not decided who it will be yet?
