Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to thank the witnesses.
Mr. Poliquin, I must admit that I was somewhat surprised by the brevity—to say the least—of your remarks earlier.
Anyway, I would like to follow up on what Mr. Chong was talking about. He talked about this pair of Chinese researchers who went to China a few times, including once in July 2019. In fact, they were kicked out of the lab after going to China with live samples of Ebola and Nipah. Yet it appears from the evidence that everything was done by the book.
Why were they kicked out of the lab, then? Why did they wait several months before firing them outright?
