One question, and this is to Mr. Bramley, is about the cost of failure.
Canada has put forward this strange position that unless others lead—countries with GDPs a fraction of ours, far lower education levels, far lower capacity on the international front.... Yet we don't do that on other international engagements—the fight against AIDS, or military engagements in Afghanistan and the rest.
What is the cost of failure of this process—to Canada, specifically, and our national interest?
