Thank you very much for an incredibly powerful and important conversation.
I'm wondering if we could touch on your first comment around “powerfully placed” persons who are influencing us, in terms of policy to appease China. In your other remarks that you provided us, you identified that we have high-placed senior people who, through their connections, may have complicated the relationship with China. Essentially, we do have influence here in Canada.
What can we do to be able to mitigate that influence or bring that influence into the light and protect Canadian interests, so that Canadians can have a clear-eyed perspective on the actual truth, as you said, about our relationship with China and the compromises and threats to our national security?
