Mr. Speaker, the government's approach has neglected the crucial importance of political and diplomatic engagement. Other countries have created high-level envoys for the whole region. The United Kingdom, France, the United States, Germany have done this. Canada has earned the right to be at the table and to participate in those efforts.
Could the government explain why, month after month, it has refused to take that step, which will give coordination to our diplomatic and political efforts in the region?
