Mr. Speaker, I agree with the hon. member that we need to use the institutions we have available. He rightly pointed out that the Commonwealth is one of those institutions.
I want to tell the hon. member that at the end of the day, the president of Zimbabwe has openly said he will not listen to anything that comes from western countries. He will not go back to the old colonial style of white people telling him what to do. Of course his assumption is absolutely wrong. We are not interested in that kind of thing, but he has said that. That is why the best approach is to use the African Union, his own peers, to tell him that what he is doing is wrong.
Insofar as the representative of Zimbabwe in Canada, it is better for us to have the representative remain here and we can tell the representative what the Canadian people want to happen and she can tell her government what the Canadian public is saying. I am sure she will be listening to tonight's debate. I hope she will pass these comments on to her government and indicate how the people of Canada feel in reference to Zimbabwe.
