I was also Canada’s Special Envoy to the Sudan (1999-2002); led a government delegation to North Korea in preparation to establishing diplomatic relations, which Canada did in 2001; and led a government-NGO delegation to China on human rights (2001). I was not a Liberal senator, but an independent.
