I agree that it never works when one nation speaks for another. I think that's why we welcomed the creation of a commissioner position. I've often heard people compare this role to a bridge. Having a bridge helps, because sometimes it's too great a burden to put on one nation to have to adapt its language, its position and its perspective in order to be understood by another nation. The commissioner will be a tremendous help in reducing that burden and being more faithful to our own vision of governance.
