Mr. Speaker, I know the member well, in the sense that he was here in 2012 when then prime minister Stephen Harper took a trip to China. John Baird, the foreign affairs minister at the time, did a lot of background work for that particular visit.
There was actually an agreement, and I believe it was the Canada-China agreement for the promotion and reciprocal protection of investments. It led to millions of dollars coming to Canada, through China buying specific natural resources in certain areas.
I am wondering if the member could give his thoughts as to what has changed since 2012, without stating the obvious. Our hearts go out to the two Michaels and we want to see their case resolved. I do not think there is a person in this House who does not want to see that issue resolved with them coming home as quickly as possible.
Maybe the member could highlight what he believes are the most significant changes from 2012, when Stephen Harper was in China and he came back saying that we had this wonderful agreement.
