My view is that there is absolutely no relationship between trade and human rights programming.
The Chinese will always want to buy the best product at the best price, regardless of the source, so I really don't think it's going to make any difference. We do hear from the Chinese when we do things that they would prefer we not do; for example, when our senior leaders met the Dalai Lama, the Chinese embassy made statements promising grave consequences, but since the Dalai Lama's departure to another country, we have so far not seen those consequences.
I don't believe there's a connection. The Chinese are pragmatic, and I don't think they would want to damage their economic interests by not fully engaging Canada in terms of trade and investment.
With regard to putting people at risk, I would be inclined to think quite the opposite. For example, with the Dzhelil case, if I were running things--and it's probably just as well I'm not--I would have Canadian diplomats going round and visiting Mr. Dzhelil's family, making a strong signal to the Chinese government that we are concerned, that we are noticing these people, and that we are standing with them. I don't see any reason a Canadian diplomat can't knock on any door of anyone in China and have a cup of tea, with the Chinese agents standing outside wondering what's going on. My feeling is that the more we engage with these people, the less risk they would be put at, so I would be inclined to do the right thing.
