Thank you very much.
Thank you, Mr. Mulroney.
Many observers have noted that the former Conservative government had a shift in its approach to China in the last years of its mandate. You were ambassador from 2009 to 2012. Could you tell us, perhaps, about your efforts to deepen our commercial relationship with China back then? Here in Nova Scotia, of course, we have a major supply of lobster, seafood and other things going to China. Our governments have really increased our exports.
I'm curious to know whether you ever pushed back on your superiors at that time for tougher stances and not pursuing a friendlier stance. What has actually changed since you were ambassador?
