Thank you, Mr. Chair.
It's great to see you both, my former colleagues. I was remarking to Brian that I was actually his assignment officer when he was in Mongolia, so I can't believe we've come full circle here.
Of course, coming from the position of a former diplomat, my strong core belief is that diplomats do only what their government asks them to do. My questioning is always to see where you receive your direction from, working for the government and working for your political masters. I'll start with asking where Kovrig and Spavor are currently detained in China.
