I've read the report, and I was shocked by the evidence of money laundering through the port and illegal drug trade. To hear that the national crime intelligence part of the Government of Canada last year estimated that $133 billion annually is being laundered through the Canadian economy, the equivalent of almost 6% of our GDP, makes me wonder: How did we get to this point where 6% of our GDP is laundered through the economy? Much of it is international money laundering, and much of it comes through ports like Vancouver. In some ways, the problem almost seems overwhelming in how we're going to deal with it.
I have a second quick question. The government just recently announced a new security policy on research. They issued two lists, a list of sensitive technology research areas and a list of named research organizations, many of them in the People's Republic of China. I'm wondering if the witnesses would comment on whether this is a good approach or if there are gaps in the approach that was recently announced.
