Thank you, Mr. Chair.
My question is for Ms. Isfeld.
In an article in the Hill Times this week, you argue that the political class and the department must be willing to take risks. In your view, risk aversion is linked to a lack of understanding of Canada's foreign policy interests and values.
Now, as you no doubt know, this committee and the MPs on it are willing and ready to travel and take risks. Yet we are regularly discouraged from doing so by Global Affairs Canada and parliamentary security.
How can we change this mentality?
