Madam Speaker, the government says that it likes to work multilaterally but often does not when given the chance.
In 2015, President Obama and Vice-President Biden asked the government not to join the China-led Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank. Now, several years later, it is clear President Biden was right about China's threats in Indo-Pacific, and Mr. Kovrig and Mr. Spavor are paying the price.
Will the government admit it made a mistake, suspend these payments and withdraw from the China-led Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank ?
