One of the potential pressure points you've noted is what other nations are doing, including the U.S. Congress. I'm one of the vice-chairs of the Canada-U.S. Inter-Parliamentary Association and I know that congressional action is sometimes rather assertive and helps lead the path to some changes.
We have over here a bit of a different situation. You're suggesting maybe freezing of diplomats' visitations. One of the things that we've done as a country is that sometimes our crown corporations are also doing business in government agencies. Perhaps that might be a way to peel back. I know most recently Canada has been criticized for loaning money from the EDC to the Gupta brothers for a private luxury jet. I notice, even as you're talking here, the Canadian trade commissioner service is actively promoting “uncovering the surprises of Cambodia” and welcoming investment through Canadian connections.
Say, for example, we were able to draw back a Canadian trade commission office that opened up in early 2015 that is actively being promoted right now, or at least advance the notion that it could potentially close or be put in a state of abeyance for the moment. Would it be helpful to make sure that the Government of Canada and our crown corporations, and also our departments, are not saying one thing in the political realm of concern while having our departments do something different on the ground floor?
