Thank you, Madam Chair.
Mr. Kovrig, it's my honour today to welcome you to the committee. I know the chair welcomed you, but I thank you for appearing.
I want to let you know that I was elected in 2021, and one of the first issues constituents brought to me during your detention was your case. They wanted to make sure it was publicized and that people knew what you were going through. I want to say thank you. I appreciate your sobering comments and the perspective you'll share with us here today.
I don't want to put words in your mouth, so I'll just ask you to comment. Do you believe the CCP has a global agenda?
