Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all three of you for joining us today.
Professor Leuprecht, I want to revisit the issue of part 4 being country-agnostic, because I want to present to you a hypothetical situation. Of course, the government of the day is guided by different political leanings, and it may view certain countries in different lights from its competitors in the House of Commons.
I'm wondering about a situation in terms of listing a country. Could there not be the potential of the government of the day's trade interests colliding with the country's national security interests? It's a very political decision to list a country. Does that not come with some pitfalls because that's essentially a political decision? There could be other things guiding a government's decision rather than the purely national security interests of Canada. Is that not a danger?
