It's early to be agreeing with my Liberal colleagues, but I would have to echo Mr. Spengemann's comments. Mr. Fadden told us, when he testified before the committee, that he assumed there were in excess of 200,000 persons operating within China on cyberspace in one capacity or another. Some were in government, in the armed forces, while others were in the private sector. This reveals an entirely different frame of mind than what we have become accustomed to as Canadians at this point in time.
If we do not embrace the concept of offensive cyber operations, we're going to be probably way behind our Five Eyes partners. For that reason, I certainly cannot support this amendment.
