I would say it's a multi-faceted threat. It's not just data collection and worrying about what they would do with the data. Some of the concerns we have, as I mentioned before, are around economic security and predatory foreign investment. They're things of a clandestine or deceptive nature.
You mentioned China. China is in strategic competition to control critical minerals and supply chains. By some accounts, it already controls between 60% and 90%, depending on what you use to measure critical minerals.
The concerns we have are clandestine or deceptive investment practices or economic engagement in certain market sectors in the Arctic. From a CSIS perspective, we investigate, collect information on that and advise the government on the risks and the threat, and we do so under the Investment Canada Act, which is a very powerful tool. It allows us to provide security advice and recommendations to the government so it can make informed decisions on those investments.
