In my statement I already said that I think Canada is a country that should be friends with everybody, but you should stand also on the side of righteousness, which means that I think there should be no hesitation to engage Taiwan economically. For example under FIPA or under the CPTPP, I think this is the way that Canada should act as a model to support the high levels of trade liberalizations and encourage Taiwan to be a part of those agreements. I think this will be the best way to show that Canada has its core values in its trade policy.
