Thanks very much.
Thanks to our witnesses for being here.
We've seen a troubling trend under this Liberal government with its appeasement of authoritarian regimes. We saw gas turbines that benefited Russia, funding the war machine against Ukraine. We saw recent reports of one of our ships docking beside Russian ships in Havana, Cuba. We have participation in a council that seems to simply give credentials to a country that really does not have much to brag about when it comes to the environment.
I'm wondering if I could hear first from Madam Ambassador and then from Mr. Morrison. Has concern been raised that our participation in a council like the one Minister Guilbeault attended would legitimize China in a way that allows it to cover up some of its bad actions, particularly when it comes to the environment in this case? I know human rights have been raised as well.
Madam Ambassador can go first.
