Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  Yes, we do. I'm not disagreeing with you. I am saying that we have to keep moving in the right direction.

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  Our government is working with other governments, particularly those of France and the U.K., who are major donors and funders in the camps, to tell the government of Bangladesh that we want to have a more transparent and clearer process. Discussions are ongoing. That's all I can

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  It didn't make much difference.

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  On the other hand, just like you—I know that—I personally attach a lot of importance to Canadian citizenship.

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  Not at all. We are continuing our efforts, as are other governments. We are not the only government to have responded very strongly to the events in Myanmar. As for Aung San Suu Kyi, I haven't spoken to her since, but I know she has work to do in her country. She has just been r

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  Mr. Duceppe, in my opinion, the issue is determining what the next steps should be. I have a lot of respect for Parliament. I was a member of Parliament and a committee member for many years. We did the same for the Rohingya; Parliament made a statement. However, in the interna

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  Thank you.

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  I will read it with pleasure, as I read the others.

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  I saw the same photos and the same film as you. I was troubled by what I saw. Two important things need to be said. First, Canada insists that UN committees be allowed to visit the camp on the island of Bhasan Char to see the conditions in which people live. Even when I was spec

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  Yes, very young.

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  Yes. I think there are a number of factors. First of all, I'm not a doctor and I'm not an epidemiologist, but we have discussed this issue. I would say that most of the discussion I've seen talks about not so much false reporting as under-reporting, in the sense of people not c

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  That's the fear. We're seeing this in other countries, in Haiti and elsewhere. While the numbers up to this point are very low, the fear is that if there were to be an outbreak, it would have a significant impact because of the social and economic conditions—the underlying social

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  I think Canada should be actively participating in ensuring that the most vulnerable populations around the world are among the first to be vaccinated. I think that's an essential humanitarian principle. That's certainly something that we've discussed. I know it's being discuss

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  My comments were made in the context of what the law is on genocide and what the allegations were that had been made. That's one reason that I've argued so strongly, and we continue to argue strongly, that the human rights committee in Geneva needs to take this issue to heart and

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  Not exactly, because there's a process of further confirming evidence that has to take place. I said in the committee that there is a definition of genocide. There are categories that are there. There are serious allegations. As I said in my answer to the committee, there now h
