Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I want to address my questions to Mr. Jean.
In relation to your previous testimony and the facts you presented, there's a narrative here. It's the narrative of an experience that you and many of the witnesses here today have been able to piece together for us. I think it's an important piece to how we understand foreign interference, particularly by state actors like China, but even by other state actors like Russia.
In your experience, Monsieur Jean.... I know you served as intelligence adviser to the Prime Minister during a time when these policies may have been shifting very quickly. You mentioned the volatile movement of position. We heard from Mr. Rosenberg about how even civil society.... The Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation was seeking to get these donations from China and to find ways to participate in a better relationship. Mr. Rosenberg mentioned, for example, as the former CEO, that they were witnessing the government taking pandas and other items like that to try to build this relationship.
During your time, and during this kind of narrative, did you see this as a risk taken seriously enough, at that time, to call for a public inquiry then? Do you think that was something Canadians were even interested in, at that time?
