Government Operations committee  I'm sorry but I don't understand the question. Is the question if a Hong Kong company has a lease on property in Canada?

Government Operations committee  Okay.

Government Operations committee  I can say a couple of thing about this. I think that certainly before the 2017 intelligence law it was clear that Chinese citizens are always required to respond to the demands of the Chinese Communist Party.

Industry committee  I think that certainly we should be considering that, and I think we should be working in collaboration with like-minded allies like Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, Japan and the United States to try to come up with some standards that we would all apply so China would not b

Industry committee  I would return to what I said before about reciprocity and fairness. If it's not reciprocal, then why do we allow China to do things in Canada that Canada cannot do in China? I think we have to start making it clear to the Chinese government that their state firms have to abide b
