To the other recommendations that have been taken with some kind of reservation by the federal government, they can address the issues in a way that would leave more flexibility for us to work them out.
For example, recommendation 12 urges the government to strongly consider having the Minister of International Trade, Madam Mary Ng, visit Taiwan to sign the FIPA—the Foreign Investment Promotion and Protection Agreement. The response from the government is that to be consistent with established practice, the FIPA is to be signed by the heads of the Canadian trade office in Taipei and the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Canada, who would be me and my counterpart in Taipei, Mr. Jim Nickel.
I believe this is too semantic a way of answering this question. If you have a Minister of International Trade visiting Taiwan, she doesn't have to be there to sign this. She's welcome to visit at any time, because the purpose is to promote international trade between us. This kind of response from the federal government, to me, is a little too legalistic.
We can work it out. We can work out ways. I hope that further communications can be carried out between officials on our two sides so we can address the misunderstandings. I say all this in the spirit of friendship.
