To allow the access for the voting here, I certainly think that aids and helps democratic institutions around the world, but to put the Canadian stamp of approval on a political entity here, I would certainly agree with you that it would be hugely problematic.</p>",

Je crois que le fait de permettre le vote ici favorise le d\u00e9veloppement des institutions d\u00e9mocratiques dans le monde, mais si le Canada sanctionne certains partis politiques ici, je conviens avec vous que c'est tr\u00e8s probl\u00e9matique.</p>"
