Thank you, Mr. Chair.
What a fascinating conversation. Thank you very much to the witnesses for this.
I'd like to start with Mr. Laliberté.
Your response to my colleague with regard to the U.S. strategy of intentional ambiguity was that it's not the right strategy now and Canada should be moving towards a position of clarity.
We heard from both of you that this is about identity politics for China. There is an ideology there. As we all know, moving someone along in an ideology is close to impossible. It feels a bit like we're in that situation where you're explaining to us that we need to be clear in our position with regard to Taiwan, yet our position will never move China. It will not be able to reconcile any movement we make.
I'm struggling with how to read that from you. Could you elaborate on that for Canada's position in particular?
