We will resume now.
I'd like to thank and welcome to the Canada-China committee our two witnesses: Dr. Robert Huebert, associate professor, University of Calgary, and Dr. Yeh-Chung Lu, professor and chair, department of diplomacy, National Chengchi University. Both gentlemen will have five minutes each to make an opening statement.
Mr. Huebert, you warned us in advance that you didn't have anything prepared, so I'll give you the old floor signal when it's time to wrap up your comments, and we'll take it from there. Then we'll go into our questioning after that.
With that, Mr. Huebert, we will give you the first five-minute opportunity.
