Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would also like to thank the witnesses for being with us here this evening and helping us with this part of our mission or mandate: the consideration of relations with Taiwan.
Indeed, in a speech Ms. Mélanie Joly, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, gave recently at the Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy, she warned that Canadian companies that do business with the People's Republic of China do so at their own risk. She also said that Canada would seek to deepen its economic ties with Taiwan.
Mr. Lam, what do you think a statement such as this means for Canadian businesses?
