Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank our witnesses for being here.
Mr. Gwozdecky, you said that North Korea now sees Canada as peaceful and friendly despite the battle of Kapyong and our involvement in the Korean peninsula war. Minister Freeland said just this summer that when Canadians' allies, including the United States, are threatened, we are there.
If you can just square the circle for me, how can North Korea see us as peaceful and friendly when we're standing with our allies?
