Thank you all for being here today.
In previous meetings of this committee on this subject, we've heard testimony on various aspects. I think the main concern is Canadian IP going to China through various means. Some is actually stolen through cybersecurity means, and some goes there perfectly legally, we're told, because researchers have partnered with entities in China. We've heard of researchers who've been lured into financial arrangements with Chinese entities and who, once they're in deep, don't really have many options other than to co-operate.
I'm not sure who here is best positioned to answer that. Perhaps we can start with CSIS.
What is the main problem? Is it cybersecurity or is it these legal partnerships with Chinese entities, whether or not they're associated with the army, in these areas of interest? It's a fairly broad question, but what is the aspect that concerns you most?
