I'll come back to that.
Perhaps you might want to answer the question anyway about the threat of hundreds of projects now going on with the Government of China military researchers at our universities.
When Norsat was acquired by Hytera in 2017, the then Minister of Industry, on behalf of the Government of Canada, obviously, and the cabinet, as the act requires, sent a letter to Norsat and Hytera saying that they didn't believe buying this telecommunications company posed a national security threat. They didn't do a study of this company, which the RCMP and the Canada Border Services hired to supply them with equipment.
I know that you were not the minister then, but you were part of the cabinet that chose not to do a security review of a state-owned Chinese enterprise buying a critical telecommunications business. Could you explain to this committee why?
