I would like to talk about the evolution of thinking and the increased awareness in Canada concerning the threat China poses in terms of foreign interference.
You published a report in 2010-11, while you were director of CSIS. In it, you talked about the economic and strategic competitiveness among nations, and you said that it created a threat level similar to the one that existed during the Cold War.
You talked about this 10 years ago without, however, naming China. Is there a reason you did not name it? We are seeing a change in the more recent reports, produced by Mr. Vigneault. For example, China is directly named in those reports.
Is there a reason you did not name China at the time? Was it indeed China you had in mind? I assume that was the case.
