Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'll ask questions of Mr. Matthews. Before I do, though, I didn't think I'd need to put this on the record, and perhaps I don't as it should go without saying, but I will put it on the record.
Every MP I've had the privilege to work with over the years is loyal to this country. That, of course, includes MPs of Chinese heritage. I think it's a privilege to work in this place, Mr. Chair. I defend colleagues across the aisle. This isn't only about Liberal colleagues I have the chance to work with; it's about all MPs and all parties. We hold a loyalty to Canada and everything we do is for our constituents. I put that on the record this evening, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Matthews, thank you very much for your very interesting presentation. You used the term “digital authoritarianism”. I don't think you're the first to use it, but it's still something that piques my interest. Can you expand on what you mean by that when you say that China is pursuing exactly that type of an agenda?
