Thank you very much, Mr. Chair, and thank you for the comments, Dr. Martel. My question to you kind of builds on this notion.
Your opening comments seem to indicate that perhaps China's intentions are misread in a variety of circumstances. Given what's happened in Hong Kong and given the situation we can see, the deterioration of what's going on in Hong Kong, the violence, the abuse and the arrest of civilians in that context and, of course, the imposition of the national security law and the application of it even extending here to veteran Canadian journalist Victor Ho, I wonder if you can share with our committee how we should interpret those actions.
