Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I don't know if you heard the discussions we had with the first group of witnesses, but I would like to repeat the declaration made by the Minister of Foreign Affairs when she spoke at the Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy. She said that Canadian companies who do business with the People's Republic of China do so at their own risk and that Canada should seek to deepen its economic ties with Taiwan.
We know how much the People's Republic of China likes to threaten individual nations everywhere in the world to try and isolate them.
Does the doctrine that the Minister of Foreign Affairs seems to be using here run the risk of inciting the People's Republic of China to hit back?
