Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his question. He raises an important point. There is a difference between communicating, that is, transmitting a message, and the language. The language helps add meaning to the story. I think there has been a lot of superficial diplomacy, just for show. Most countries do this, not just Canada. We need to engage in meaningful action and determine which direction we want to take so we can put it into words that actually mean something. Things are a bit blurry right now. The messages are often contradictory and incomplete. I feel that our diplomatic efforts are purely superficial and have no real impact. That is my opinion. I would therefore like us to distinguish between the communication tools we use every day and the language that would enable us to settle an impasse.
