I have a two-part question. First of all, gentlemen, has Canada ever retained your services and has Canada ever required your expertise concerning the Canadian approach with regards to democracy?
Secondly, Mr. Kopstein, I’d like you to clarify somewhat the backlash you mentioned concerning new countries that have dictatorial international relations.
As to my question that was addressed to Mr. Perlin, Mr. Miller spoke to us about the Canadian approach in matters of democratization. We know that Canada has been giving nearly 265 million dollars to different countries, including China, for nearly eight years now and there seems to be nothing new on the democratic front in China.
What do you think of all this, Mr. Perlin? Would your strategic planning be of any use to Canada?
