Would you agree with the chief, then, that China and Russia would probably be the two main...amongst others, obviously?
I fully respect that it is a global issue, but I'm trying to pinpoint a few things. As Conservatives, our party has always had concerns about these issues. I want to commend you both for doing a great job, first and foremost. Now, as the Prime Minister looks to make new trade deals, it seems he's aggressively moving very quickly towards China. More importantly, it's China, but for more important communication methods, let's call it the Chinese Communist Party. That's the real concern, as opposed to China and Chinese people. It's the Communist Party that governs that country.
As a Conservative, I and many of my colleagues here are advised not to use things like TikTok, which 99% of MPs don't use for security reasons, which I'm sure you know all too well. Canadians can't buy Huawei phones. The previous government addressed that, and I agreed with that.
Now there's a big concern about Chinese EVs. Not only will it be a threat to the auto sector in Ontario, but also on a security level, Mr. Gupta, how do you feel...and what would you address? Is there a threat in bringing 50,000 Chinese EVs into our market?
