Thank you, Chair.
Thank you to all of our witnesses for your very powerful testimony.
Shame on the Communist government in Beijing for trying to interfere, and shame on their ambassador as well. I know they're monitoring this.
Mr. Burton, I want to talk about the importance of confronting people like the Communist government in Beijing. When it comes to trade, as you mentioned, the soft side seems to have been replaced by a little harsher message from Prime Minister Harper, and trade actually increased. There may be other factors at play in there, but how important is it to call the bluff of people like that and make them understand, through diplomacy perhaps, that it's actually in their best interest not to continue in the way they are?
