Mr. Chair, obviously it would be very speculative of me to start commenting on a decision that has not yet been made by the government and the incomplete information as to what like-minded partners and allies would do.
What I can say, however, is that this issue is very much alive, and not just in our capital. It is discussed in a very intense way in the capitals of the very countries you've listed—France, the United Kingdom, Germany, a few European partners, Australia, New Zealand. These are very live conversations.
Obviously, I don't know the kinds of conversations that are taking place in the transition team that is being formed in Washington. We can expect a number of changes to the United States' policy towards the Middle East.
Of course, we're comparing notes. We're talking to each other, and we're weighing the considerations as a group of very like-minded countries.
