GoSL unable, not disposed to making progress

MP - Garry Anandasangaree with Prime Minister




A popular Tamil Canadian lawyer, politician elected to represent the riding of Scarborough—Rouge Park in the House of Commons in the 2015 federal election of Canada, MP Gary Anandasangaree speaks to Ceylon Today exclusively expressing that the Government of Sri Lanka is backtracking on its promises on the national issue and the ICC is the last option if they fail.
?: How are your political activities in Canada in relation to Sri Lanka's national issue?
A: I am an MP representing Scarborough, and an MP in the Canadian Parliament. So, my primary focus is obviously to make sure that the issues in my constituency are represented in Parliament fairly, and the issues of regional and national interest to Canada are also represented. There are a number of files I am particularly interested in, namely the national issues and general areas of human rights, both within Canada and internationally. That is my primary focus. But, with my obvious background and links with Sri Lanka, I follow the GoSL quite closely.
