Thank you.
First of all, with respect to the issue of Canadian values, in 1994 the Government of Canada, in what remains the foreign affairs statement to the world, defined what Canadian values were, so any interpretation of these words “Canadian values” is taken in the context of that 1994 statement. It remains the seminal statement of foreign policy.
Among other things, the statement notes that “the projection of Canadian values and culture is important to our success in the world” and defines these values as “respect for human rights, democracy, the rule of law, and the environment”. When you take the phrase “Canadian values”, your entire concern is incorporated by virtue of the Government of Canada's statement, which remains the seminal statement of this. It is effectively incorporated by reference.
