Canada's relations internationally haven't been worse: China, United States, the complete Middle East, and then we hear those complaints from ambassadors of the Middle East area. The Middle East has been neglected completely in your international relations, as well as India. The disastrous India trip....
These all show us that we've lost so many friends around the world. How are we going to really pursue that seat, unless your government has already given up on this and there's no way you want to pursue it further? This way, we have relationships that have been broken with many influential parties around the world. Here we are; we're trying to say that we're making efforts; your government is making efforts. You're trying to say that your ministers are working hard, but all that is down on the real ground. We have had relationships with so many strategic countries out there.
I'm not sure how you think you're going to achieve the right result by securing a bid on this Security Council seat.
