Thank you.
I have another question I'd like to touch upon. Last month, the Minister of Public Safety launched a consultation on having a foreign influence registry. This consultation and potential action on that are critical steps that we should be taking.
We know the diaspora communities are particular.... They face the challenges of foreign interference. Diaspora communities are impacted by this. The CSIS director came before the committee and said:
[CSIS has] been clear that the principal threat to Canada comes from the People's Republic of China but, to be clear, the threat comes not from the Chinese people but rather from the Chinese Communist Party and the Government of China. Indeed, we are keenly aware that Chinese communities are often the primary victims of PRC foreign interference efforts in Canada.
This distinction that he's making between the government and the Chinese people is critical. Would you like to elaborate on that?
