An issue that's come up is what the government should be doing for them, how we treat that sort of a situation, and whether the government seeks clemency for Canadians on death row at all. We obviously don't have capital punishment in Canada, nor do we condone capital punishment. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5337612\" data-originallang=\"en\">Can you speak a little bit to what the government's policy is in terms of requesting clemency for Canadians abroad? Again, in the way the current government is dealing with the issue of seeking clemency, has there been any change or shift from the previous government's approach? Has there been any change in that policy?</p>",

En effet, on se demande ce que le gouvernement devrait faire pour eux, comment nous traitons ce type de situation, et si le gouvernement cherche \u00e0 ce que l'on fasse preuve de cl\u00e9mence \u00e0 l'\u00e9gard des Canadiens condamn\u00e9s \u00e0 mort. Nous n'avons manifestement pas la peine de mort au Canada, et nous n'approuvons pas ce type de peine.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5337612\" data-originallang=\"en\">Pourriez-vous nous parler un peu de la politique du gouvernement lorsqu'il s'agit de demander \u00e0 ce que l'on fasse preuve de cl\u00e9mence \u00e0 l'\u00e9gard des Canadiens \u00e0 l'\u00e9tranger? Encore une fois, y a-t-il eu des changements dans la fa\u00e7on dont le gouvernement actuel aborde la question de la cl\u00e9mence comparativement \u00e0 l'approche utilis\u00e9e par le gouvernement pr\u00e9c\u00e9dent? A-t-on apport\u00e9 des changements \u00e0 cette politique?</p>"
