Mr. Speaker, I will be brief.
I really appreciated my colleague's entire speech because, as parliamentarians, we cannot specialize in every field.
That being said, I clearly understand that there is a time issue, that we have our heads in the sand and that we are lagging behind other countries.
I would like to ask my colleague a question. He spoke of reasons why the government does not want to offend Beijing. Can he elaborate? Why does the government refuse to act for fear of offending Beijing?
