Mr. Chair, Canada's approach to China continues to evolve. We recognize that we need to contest in areas where China is a threat, that we need to co-operate in some areas, such as climate change, where we share the global commons, and that we need to compete with China. This is an approach that recognizes the way that China is changing and the way that Canada has to adjust its approach, in particular to address the challenges that we've talked about during this committee appearance.
