Yes, I will, of course.
I base that point of view on the independence of Parliament and parliamentary privilege, which are both pillars of Canada's democracy. Members of Parliament and senators have a long-standing practice of visiting Taiwan and, indeed, choosing the jurisdictions they wish to travel to in order to represent Canadian interests and values.
Successive Canadian governments have in fact maintained respect for the one China policy. That policy remains unchanged. However, within that framework, Canada and Taiwan maintain significant economic, cultural and people-to-people ties.
As I reiterated at the beginning of my response, I will always stand up for our parliamentarians. That applies in the member's case, as well as to the member he mentioned.
