Canada-China Relations committee  Thank you.

Canada-China Relations committee  I'm just trying to see whether the question is about the security of some of the platforms used by some of the Hong Kong protesters. Is that the question?

Canada-China Relations committee  I'm not familiar with the one you mention, but obviously on the Internet we see all kinds of information, misinformation or disinformation, irrespective of whatever platform it is. This is the period, I feel, where the government can do more education for Canadians. Hopefully, th

Canada-China Relations committee  Thank you for asking. We are a very small group, and have been active in B.C. only. Our focus, as I mentioned, is more than just the Chinese. We actually devote a lot of our time to the indigenous community. That is fairly well known by the media as well as, I guess, observers ou

Canada-China Relations committee  I suppose the one regarding CSIS is high on my mind, because supposedly they are taking care of national security, or watching out for Canada anyway, and yet they are not empowered to do so. I think some vigorous changes need to be made. Otherwise, the way they are leaving the jo

Canada-China Relations committee  Right.

Canada-China Relations committee  There is more than one, but one is that in our pluralistic society it is kind of logical to assume that the Chinese Communist Party is just another legitimate political choice, particularly when we see all its economic improvements. However, such an assumption should be thrown ou

Canada-China Relations committee  If I can try to answer this first, the government can do a number of things, because all the ministries at this point are operating without a good understanding of the national security risks to which Canada is exposed. At this point, as I described earlier, I seem to be running

Canada-China Relations committee  I will first jump in on Huawei. In my opinion, the risk posed by Huawei is far more than what people may think. China's effort in recent years has been focused on collecting massive amounts of data. That data can be used for various purposes. Whether it is personal or commercia

Canada-China Relations committee  It's too much of a coincidence that during the rallies organized by those supporting the Hong Kong community here, in just about all cases, counter-protesters appear. That would be a very strange pattern. They come at almost the same time and leave at the same time, which raises

Canada-China Relations committee  One key thing about reconciliation is knowing the truth, because without the truth it would seem that no reconciliation is necessary. People will say things are fine, and then there's no need. One of the basic things that we, as I mentioned earlier, are trying to do is to resea

Canada-China Relations committee  That's an excellent question, as I have been involved in resisting racism for a number of years, mainly in trying to research it as well as to lobby for the recognition of that long history of discrimination against Chinese in B.C., for example. Through public knowledge, all thre

Canada-China Relations committee  Thank you. I didn't realize it had slipped. Well, I think on the part of Canada it can help by acknowledging the history, because I think that in popular opinion that history has not been well understood, at least in school textbooks and public discourse. With Canada being a cou

Canada-China Relations committee  Chair Regan, I am most honoured to be part of this discussion. Imagine if thousands of little green men arrived from Mars. Perhaps Canada would have taken this threat assessment more seriously. However, while China is obviously not Mars, it is no longer Pierre Trudeau's notion o
