Thank you, Mr. Chair.
For Mr. Morrison's benefit, by “calling them out” I meant “challenging them”.
It is a bit rich to hear our Conservative colleague criticize the People's Republic of China for not meeting its climate change commitments, since Canada likely won't meet its targets either.
In its report on the situation in Taiwan, the committee made the following recommendation: “That the Government of Canada offer and declare its clear and unwavering commitment that the future of Taiwan must only be the decision of the people of Taiwan”.
Global Affairs Canada's response was not that the department agreed with the recommendation, but that it took note of it. In its Indo-Pacific strategy, the United States indicates that the U.S. will work with Taiwan to ensure that its future is determined in accordance with the wishes of Taiwan's people.
Why is Canada so reluctant to simply recognize that Taiwan's future must be determined in accordance with the will of the Taiwanese?
