Mr. Speaker, the minister wants us to believe that Beijing is just another benign trading partner, but Beijing's actions have been hostile to Canadian interests even more than Washington's. It supports the theft of Canadian IP, it has jailed the two Michaels, it interferes in our elections, it operates illegal police stations on Canadian soil and it has held our farmers hostage. Canadians have a right to know that our sovereignty has not been compromised and our citizens will be protected.
If the government has nothing to hide, why will it not release the secret documents and arrangements it has made with Beijing?
