Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Burton, you talked a lot about the registry of foreign actors, but I'd like you to talk to us about something that may be a blind spot. I know you have covered this topic before. I'm talking about the acquisition of companies by foreign actors. We know that there aren't really any private companies in China; everything is connected to the state.
I'd like you to talk about the risks of not better regulating the acquisition of Canadian businesses by Chinese actors. It's also a matter of bringing Chinese technology into the country. Think of electric vehicles, which are now outright espionage tools, depending on how they are used. We saw that the Royal Canadian Mounted Police acquired drones made in China. Is this a blind spot that should be addressed?
