Mr. Speaker, it is very interesting that it is only in Canada we would see Liberal members twist themselves into such a pretzel and be concerned about such a motion.
I have been to Taiwan. I have looked at its medical health care system and it has advances in science that I think Canada should be looking at. Certainly in looking at its response to SARS, perhaps Canada could learn a lot from Taiwan in that regard. We need to have Taiwan as a full player as an observer at the WHO and it should not be hampered by other political considerations. I would not want to see Canada again be offside from the community of nations because the Liberal government is without principle and cannot find its way out of the forest.
