Well, you know, when I was in Beijing, very often I had discussions in which I was told that we were the lapdog of the United States. From the start of this sad episode with Ms. Meng Wanzhou and the two Michaels, they said that we should not have acceded to the extradition request. They showed total disregard for how extradition requests work, and they just assumed that things could work in Canada as they do in China, where the prime minister picks up the phone and speaks with the judge and says to throw this case away and just return the person.
To be frank with you, I don't think the Chinese have a very high opinion of Canadian politicians right now, and this is unfortunate, taking into account all the efforts that were made by various Canadian governments over the last 40 years to help China become a modern country. We helped them to prepare to join the World Trade Organization. We helped them to develop their dairy industry. We helped them to develop their hydroelectricity. All this has disappeared since the arrest of Ms. Meng Wanzhou.
