Thank you, Stéphane, and hello.
Yes, you're right. The membership of the CTBC would accept the minister's statement that there was credible evidence that the equipment in question was not used in compliance with the assurances on end uses. I have no doubt—and our members would have no doubt—that this decision was arrived at after a serious examination of the facts, so absolutely....
Notwithstanding that, we have issues with many countries in the world. Some of them are difficult and behave in ways that don't quite conform to how Canada feels they should behave, but we still need to maintain relationships with them and maintain progress towards what we would call “liberal democracies” and respect for human rights and for gender rights.
I'm not talking about Turkey specifically, but it's a process that occurs over many years. Canada works with countries, and they don't always do what we would like them to do or say what we would like them to say. Some of them are functioning democracies, and some of them aren't.
