Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  Have you ever been denied putting any of your particular programs into any schools?

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  Thank you.

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  I think Mr. Cotler took my questions.

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  They were very good questions, sir, so I have no problem with that. Welcome, Mr. Silva. We spent quite a few years together on the heritage committee, so it's great to see you again. I understand you're doing a very good job. I have a number of questions. First, do you believe anti-Semitism continues to exist in Canada?

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  You mentioned Saudi Arabia earlier, and I've heard that from different witnesses. Am I drawing the conclusion that Saudi Arabia is maybe one of the big reasons behind some of the problems in Indonesia today?

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  In your opinion, how could Canada best promote respect for the rights to freedom of religion, expression, and association in Indonesia?

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  Have I any time left?

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  Thank you very much for those answers, sir.

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  Thank you, Chair. Thank you, Mr. Sifton, for your presentation. In August 2012, new organizations and human rights groups reported that a group of Shi'ite students and teachers were attacked by a Sunni mob, killing at least one person. In your view, is religious strife and sectarian violence having an impact on children's rights to obtain an education in Indonesia?

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  Okay. In your opinion, has rising religious intolerance had any effect on the ability of women to fully enjoy their human rights in Indonesia? Would your assessment of the situation of women belonging to religious minorities in the country differ from your assessment of the situation of women practising one of the six official religions?

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  Yes. Thank you for that. Do you have concerns regarding respect for the rights to religious...to freedom of religion and freedom of expression in Indonesia?

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  Okay. Instead of reading it backwards, I'll read it frontwards. Do you have concerns regarding respect for the rights to freedom of religion and freedom of expression in Indonesia?

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  Are there any religious groups that face particular persecution in Indonesia? If so, could you please explain why?
