Perhaps I can take a first crack at that, Mr. Chair.
When we talk about Canadian values, I'd say a couple of things. First of all, in the ODAAA, as we call it, the Official Development Assistance Accountability Act, we have a definition of values. There are references to inclusion and equitable development, those sorts of things. That's one place where you're going to find a definition.
When we talk about values from the perspective of Canadian foreign policy and development, we talk about things like democracy, freedom, human rights, the rule of law. Those four are usually bunched together.
I mentioned earlier the notion of compassion, which I think kicks in when we're talking about humanitarian assistance.
Broadly speaking, that's how we would usually define values.
