Thank you, Madam Chair.
It is relevant. Foreign interference has been long-standing. Mr. Juneau-Katsuya has mentioned that.
In 2014 PM Harper signed a 31-year trade deal with China. I want to ask you about whether there were concerns expressed at the time. There were reports in the media. I was just looking at some of the reports back then from national security and intelligence experts who flagged that as a real concern.
Has that had an impact on Canada's national security and, in terms of our trade relationship, has it put us in a vulnerable position in any way?
I'll go to you first, Mr. Juneau-Katsuya, and then to Mr. Jean.
