Mr. Speaker, the Conservatives have always had a hard time when it comes to balancing the relationship with China. We remember that in 2009, the government made international headlines when it gave the duck to the Dalai Lama.
We understand that we must have a professional relationship with the Chinese, but that does not mean ducking a meeting with the Dalai Lama.
The question is this: will the Prime Minister accept the invitation to the Dalai Lama, sit down and meet with him this weekend?
