Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Good afternoon, gentlemen.
Mr. Fadden, in 2010, you gave an interview on CBC that was reported in the Globe and Mail. You said that there was interference from foreign governments against officials in provincial ministries and in areas of Canadian politics. At that time, people from the NDP and the Liberal Party demanded your resignation. Fortunately, you remained in office.
This morning, we learned that the report of the National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians, which has just been tabled, confirms what you said and very clearly confirms that China is a danger for Canada’s security.
In your presentation, you talked about problems, but I would also like to know about potential solutions. You talked about the “dysfunctional West”, if I heard the interpretation correctly. Could you shed some more light on what we could do? What does that mean?
