Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Minister, thank you for being here tonight.
If I understand you correctly, you sketched out a foreign policy approach to China, and you called it a smart policy approach. That would involve Canada coalescing or continuing to coalesce with like-minded allies on the basis of shared values. It would also involve, if I understood you correctly, Canada accepting China as it is, not as we wish it to be. If that's a fair interpretation, please let me know. If it's not, also please let me know.
My question to you is this: To what extent is Canada involved in leading that effort among like-minded countries to bring countries together?
