Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Good evening to the two witnesses.
Mr. Juneau-Katsuya, you have recently commented on the ties between the leadership of CanSino Biologics and the Chinese government with respect to the thousand talents plan.
I asked Dr. Halperin from Dalhousie University about this and he expressed no concerns about those ties.
I also asked Iain Stewart, president of the National Research Council of Canada. He responded that CanSino Biologics was a private company listed on the Hong Kong stock exchange and that he did not really see a problem.
In your opinion, are the senior officials of our agencies wilfully blind? Are they not rather misinformed by the national security agencies about the relationships with CanSino Biologics?
