Thank you very much, Mr. Vigneault.
I understand that you cannot confirm everything for us today, but I imagine that, if you warn a university, as you have done recently, it is because there is a threat. That's my understanding.
I would like to quote what you said in a CBC article published on October 17:
“We have the Chinese government engaged in the most sustained, scaled and sophisticated theft of intellectual property and acquisition of expertise that is unprecedented in human history”.
My question is quite simple. In the face of intellectual property theft and blatant predatory behaviour, do you feel that the federal government is doing enough to protect Canadian universities, researchers and discoveries?
