Mr. Speaker, I completely agree with my colleague. The Chinese government focuses more on its political interests than on the lives of its own citizens and those of other countries. It is now obvious that this government is committing genocide against a minority group and that it has no respect for human rights. We must be clear and realistic. We must try to work more with the other democratic countries such as Taiwan.

Mr. Speaker, I am personally very happy that the Liberal Party is very much in favour of Taiwan joining the WHO. I am pleasantly surprised, but I also remain cautious about the Liberal government's position, because, in other areas, it has been so fearful of offending the Chinese because of its attitude towards Taiwan. The government therefore has been reluctant to act and has not behaved as we would have liked. What are my colleague's thoughts on that? On this matter relating to the WHO, why should we be so quick to accept this position?
