Thank you, Madam Chair.
I would like to thank the witnesses for their very useful presentations.
My first question is for the representative of the Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China, or IPAC, of which I am a proud member, by the way, and which has members from several legislatures around the world.
Mr. de Pulford, on May 15, just before the G7 summit, you issued a statement outlining some of the priorities you wanted to see addressed at the summit. One of these recommendations was to coordinate responses to cases of economic coercion by any state actor, including China.
Do you fear that economic coercion measures could be put in place by China in response to the tariffs that have been implemented? What action do you recommend, if any?
