Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
My gift to Mr. Chong will be not to sing for him today. That will be a present I won't provide. I come from a long family line of people who mouth the words in church, so we are not musical.
I'd like to thank the witness for his testimony today. It's been very interesting. Of course, he's been speaking an awful lot about the changing status quo and how dangerous that is.
I think what I've gathered from your testimony is that you don't necessarily expect that there would be a full-scale invasion—of course, not ruling it out—but rather more of an incremental approach to taking control of Taiwan by China.
What I'm trying to think of and trying to get my head around is this. How can Canada ensure that we are responding to those small steps, not waiting for the small, incremental steps to build up but rather having the ability to push back—and knowing when to push back and how to push back—on that incremental change that we see China trying to impose upon Taiwan?
