At the committee's discretion, I'm going to take a round, and then we'll hear from Mr. Silva.
This is to any one of you, but, Professor Burton, I'd be keen to hear your view on this.
In 1997, the Government of Canada decided to stop sponsoring or supporting resolutions at the UNCHR on the human rights situation in China. Mr. Burton, you said the decision was made to replace it with the bilateral dialogue in order to be more effective. Is that the view of all the panellists, that the decision was taken in order to be more effective, or was it taken—as you've just suggested, Mr. Burton—to avoid upsetting our interlocutors in China by being public about criticism at Geneva?
