Yes, I quite agree. I am distressed by these examples that you gave, and we came pretty damn close to giving Aecon, the construction company, to China. There have been so many examples of this.
It is puzzling that we don't seem to understand the seriousness of China's security threat to Canada. Time after time we make these decisions or even reverse a Harper cabinet decision with regard to Chinese state acquisition.
I agree with the Canadian Bar Association that we need adequate resources for notification, but for a different reason from what they say. They want it to be done more speedily. I understand that, but I think we need a lot more expertise in government to be informing these decisions. We really have to be much more questioning of why, time and time again, when there are serious allegations of malfeasance by China-connected entities, we seem to put those reports into the back of a drawer and don't act on them.
I'm not getting particularly partisan-political about this. I just want to know what the reasons were for these decisions that were not taken, according to the CSIS reports.
