I'd like to hear what you have to say about the example of CRRC Corporation Limited, a Chinese railway sector company. It was de facto banned in the United States for national security reasons, and in particular for cybersecurity risks. Now, this very same company is currently pre-qualified for the renewal of the Toronto subway train fleet.

Would your proposed reform mean that a company like CRRC, which is banned in the United States for reasons that are clearly related to national security, would also be banned in Canada?
