That's interesting.
My understanding is that you obviously don't know the Prime Minister of Canada very well at all. You'd have trouble recognizing him in an elevator if he was in there with you.
And yet you were appointed ambassador to China, a posting so important that you must have had detailed conversations with the Prime Minister of Canada about his expectations with respect to our relationship with China—and God knows things were not going well.
What was the nature of these conversations? Did they not lead to some close contacts between the Prime Minister and yourself?
