I think it shows a commitment to that relationship. Not having an ambassador in place shows a lack of commitment to that relationship, certainly.
Here is another area I'm quite concerned with. We have seen the increase in China playing a key role in development in sub-Saharan Africa. At the same time, we've seen a reduction in Canada's investment and involvement in sub-Saharan Africa, whether that's through peacekeeping, international development or diplomatic ties.
Could you speak about what the impacts or the risks are to Canada and to global stability, I guess, when you see situations like the increase of China in sub-Saharan Africa at the same time that Canada is decreasing its efforts there?
