Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you very much for being with us this evening. I must say, it does look much more pleasant there at this time of year, in February, than it does in Ottawa.
I'm struck by the similarities you've expressed with regard to Canada and Australia and our relationship with China.
My colleague from the Conservative Party brought up Huseyin Celil. We know about the two Michaels. Obviously, what's happening in Australia right now is very similar to that.
Obviously, working alone is not the solution. It is working with allies. Do you feel now that you are in this situation, that Australia is being supported by its allies? Are you getting the support that you require? In our situation, I'm not certain that we had that support.
