Thank you, Chair; and thank you to the witnesses.
Mr. Juneau-Katsuya, could I begin with you?
In listening to your presentation and reading your articles that have been cited in the media in recent years, I see what you basically describe as an asymmetrical security relationship. You talk about the fact that, if I can use the metaphor, democracies basically have a hand tied behind their backs because they are limited in what they can do because of the rule of law and because we subscribe to certain norms.
Taking that into account, what can democracies like Canada do to ensure that we are protected and that our system of ensuring national security at various levels is protected against threats posed by authoritarian regimes like China's government?
