Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to our witnesses for appearing.
Mr. Lynd, in your opening remarks you mentioned the growing threat of foreign interference, particularly in the economic sector, by the PRC in the Arctic.
The Prime Minister said last year that the biggest threat to the security of Canada is China, and particularly its foreign interference.
Earlier in your testimony, you said something with respect to the PRC being a primary actor. I'd like some clarification. Is it the assessment of CSIS that the People's Republic of China is the primary threat to the security of Canada, including through its foreign interference in the Arctic?
