I see Valerie Hughes and others in the Gallery. They have been great advocates since 2011 in regard to these atrocities. I assure Dr. Sparrow that we will bring her evidence to the attention of the Minister, Department officials and any other relevant Government officials. We will bring to their attention the proposals she has put forward and we will ask the Minister if he can pursue these important issues with the European Council of Foreign Ministers and officials at the United Nations, in the different fora in which we participate. I sincerely thank her for her presentation and her ongoing work in advocating on behalf of the most vulnerable in the world.
