Ms. Dancho pointed out that we have multiple directors from CSIS who have called the Chinese government our largest security concern. Former director of CSIS and national security adviser, Richard Fadden, called China a “fundamental threat”. Our own parliamentary committee on national security and intelligence wrote that the Chinese government remains our “largest foreign interference threat”, including to our domestic institutions and processes. A Canadian Public Safety briefing note said that the CCP is pursuing “geopolitical advantage on all fronts”, and “using all elements of state power” in a way that is “a direct threat to [Canadian] sovereignty and security”. Given your expertise in cybersecurity, would you recommend that we put Chinese EVs or EV infrastructure on Canadian military bases?
