Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you to our witnesses, Dr. Lam and Mr. Robertson, for coming to appear in front of us today.

I'd like to ask some questions of Mr. Robertson.

You have experience in Washington. You have experience in the Canada-U.S. relationship. Many people believe that Beijing will invade Taiwan in the next three to four years. If that happens, what will Washington's response be and how will that impact Canada?

In other words, will Washington's response be kinetic or non-kinetic? Will it be in military or non-military blockades, or sanctions? What do you think Washington will do if Beijing invades Taiwan?
