The premise of your question, Mr. Dewar, is hypothetical when you compare it with the United States. It depends on the circumstances and it depends as well on the issues at hand. You're talking about high-level diplomatic relations with the UAE. I engage with my counterpart on the specifics of those kinds of discussions depending of course on the nature of what needs to be discussed and how we engage with the diplomatic corps. I meet the diplomatic corps on a regular basis here.
But as for your drilling down and wanting to find out whether or not on this specific issue I raised it with the ambassador, no, I didn't raise it with the ambassador. I discussed this issue with the foreign minister.
