Mr. Juneau-Katsuya, what you've said more or less confirms what we've been observing for a few weeks now.
No matter which party is in power, when it comes to the federal government, the right hand doesn't really seem to know what the left hand is doing, and that can certainly be an advantage to countries like China.
We recently heard about a case where some sort of agency backed by a Chinese fund was hired by the Canadian government to manage the visa application process in China. The agency subcontracts for a Chinese company. It's all interconnected. The Chinese are involved from beginning to end.
When we asked Canadian intelligence authorities who had looked into the company, there was a long pause. Clearly, no one in the Canadian government had done the necessary checks.
Was that sort of thing happening during your time in the federal bureaucracy?
