Thank you, Mr. Chair.

We may have the opportunity to look back at the sequence of events that led to the arrest of Meng Wanzhou and at the ripple effect on Canadian citizens. We'll certainly look at that again.

I have two very simple questions.

First, to your knowledge, before making the decision to authorize the incarceration of Meng Wanzhou, did the Canadian government seek advice from the embassy?

Second, given the similar case of the Garratt couple in 2014, shouldn't we have been warned of what might happen?
