Madam Speaker, China is a huge concern in terms of what it wants to do. President Xi has said on the record he wants the decline of the west and the growth of the east, and wants to see a disruption in NATO.
When we look at the mercantilism, the unfair trading practices that China displays, China has uncompetitive behaviour. It oversubsidizes its industries, and we have seen that with the EV sector; it is using forced labour and pretty much subsidizing 100% of the vehicle to try to disrupt our auto industry, which is 500,000 jobs and of incredible worth to North America's economy.
We believe in free nations that allow us to compete against the world with great competition, good innovation, lower tax policies and the ability for businesses to grow and scale.
