Thank you, Chair.
Thank you, Minister Champagne and the officials, for being here today.
I think you made it very clear in your opening remarks that protecting our researchers and institutions from foreign state actors that threaten our national security is your top priority. I see you nodding, so you clearly agree.
You have established a working group to develop national security guidelines. We did hear at this committee some criticism about this working group, that in fact it was not consulting broadly enough and in fact failed to include domain experts who understand IP and national security, etc.
Could you reassure us on who exactly is working on the security guidelines? You alluded to the fact that it's been a very broad consultation. Could you, for the record, tell us exactly who is involved?
