“I want the sponsor of the bill to explain why one change is important. That change requires the minister of foreign affairs to report each year on how Canada protects human rights around the world.”
“Madam Speaker, I want to commend my colleague on all the work he has done. He sponsored this bill. I will be delivering my remarks on the bill shortly. I do want to ask my colleague if he could maybe share a bit about the impact of some of the amendments that were brought, one of which would introduce a new requirement for the minister of foreign affairs to report annually on Canada’s efforts to advance human rights internationally. How is this important to the bill?”
