Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses.
I'm going to start with CSIS and Mr. Hahlweg.
Mr. Hahlweg, in your submission you state:
CSIS observes that technology and know-how, particularly in academia and small-to-medium enterprises, is often less protected and more vulnerable to state-sponsored espionage. The national security community and the business community have a shared interest in raising public awareness regarding the scope and nature of state-sponsored espionage against Canada and its potential effect on our economic growth and ability to innovate.
Mr. Hahlweg, I understand raising awareness is important, but how does that work into the national security review on the guideline, whether it's the review or whether it's assessment? How is what you just stated taken into account?
