Mr. Chairman, no, I don't. I think the reality—and on this I would agree with Mr. Mulroney—is that the absence of policy decisions at the top makes it more difficult for the government, more broadly writ, to respond to the threat from China. I think the importance of a policy, or the revision of a policy on China by the Government of Canada, is an enormously important thing. I'm more sanguine than Mr. Mulroney would be about how government would respond were such policy decisions to be taken, but I think the policy decisions, ultimately, need to be taken.
