I have to interrupt you, sir, because I don't have enough time. I want to make sure my colleague gets a chance to ask....

Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I just want to provide a verbal notice of motion for the committee on a different matter that I'll be moving at a subsequent meeting, which is that the Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Development invite the Canadian ambassador to China to appear before the committee to explain his recent comments that Canada has more in common with China than with the U.S.
A second verbal notice of motion I want to provide is that pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), the Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Development undertake a study on the situation in and status of Tibet, and in particular on whether or not the Government of Canada should actively promote the “middle way approach”, which calls for a genuinely autonomous Tibet within the framework of the Chinese constitution.
I wanted to give verbal notice of those two motions.
Do I still have time to ask a question, Mr. Chair? No?
Okay. I'm sorry about that. Thanks.

Okay, we've heard those notices of motion, and they'll be sent to our committee to review once the timeline is done. That'll be next week.
Mr. Pardy, this has been a very good session. We could sit here all night and have this discussion. There are many questions to ask, and we hope to ask them of many other witnesses.
On behalf of the committee, I want to thank you very much for your participation. If there's any information you think we should see, please feel free to send it to the clerk, and we'll distribute it to colleagues here around the table.
Again, thank you very much.
Former Canadian Diplomat, As an Individual
