Chair, I have a question for either witness.
We've heard from Mr. Juneau-Katsuya that CSIS spends over half its time dealing with the foreign influence of China. We know that the numbers for Chinese diplomats in Canada are huge compared even to those from the United States.
Is there a reason that Canada is particularly subject to Chinese attempts such as this? Is it because of our vulnerabilities or is it because we pose a fairly rich target for Chinese interests, whether it be intellectual property such as Nortel, scientific advancement or access to minerals and research? What is it? Is there an answer to that question, or are we just part of their influence around the world?
