Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Simon, my questions will be along the same lines as those of my colleague Mr. Oliphant.
Last February, the director general for North Asia at Global Affairs Canada, Mr. Weldon Epp, appeared before the Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Development. He reiterated Canada's position that Canada does not support China's claims to Taiwan, but neither does it dispute them. It's all a matter of nuance, but you said a few moments ago that you don't dispute them, but you've never accepted them.
In your mind, what is the difference between not disputing China's claims on Taiwan and not accepting them?
