I can't comment on his neutrality. I know the points have been made by many politicians. I do know that he's looked at it for two months, and he does not have a deep China experience or a deep security experience to bring to it. He's looked at it for two months, and in those two months he concluded that there should be public hearings of the diaspora. He doesn't understand that the diaspora would never want that, which suggests that he doesn't have that understanding of what's happening, the dynamic that's happening in the communities of Chinese Canadians out there.
