00:00:00.000 So John McCallum is gone and the U.S. has announced the 13 criminal charges against Huawei and
00:00:10.700 executives. So the China file, it's all done now. Canada's vindicated, wrapped up in a bow,
00:00:15.800 right? Wrong. Still a lot we need to do on this file. For starters, we need to know what is the
00:00:23.460 Prime Minister's China policy? An increasing number of experts, non-partisan people are
00:00:28.220 coming forward and saying, what gives? What is your position on this? The Prime Minister wanted to
00:00:33.820 fall freely into a trade deal with China. Now we're seeing that may not work. We're beginning
00:00:39.960 to learn their true colors and Canadians are having a lot of questions about Canada's involvement with
00:00:45.600 China and perhaps more importantly, China's involvement in various different aspects of
00:00:51.020 Canada's life. So we've got the pressing urgent matter, the release of the two detainees, Michael
00:00:56.520 Spavor and Michael Kovrig, that everyone says that is priority number one. Well, how do we secure
00:01:01.960 that? I think one way we do it is not by hoping and praying that China doesn't do more bad things to
00:01:08.140 us, but going on the offensive, saying to China, if you don't release them, we're definitely going to
00:01:14.220 ban Huawei. We're going to permanently ban state-owned enterprises. We're going to get out of this Asian
00:01:18.540 investment infrastructure bank, an entity that the U.S. never wanted us to be a part of. And we get our
00:01:24.620 allies to say, you know what? We will do the same if you don't release these guys, because it shows
00:01:30.400 you're not honest brokers. We can't trust you. Once that issue is dealt with, that's the short term
00:01:36.840 though. There's still a long-term conversation to be had about what role we want to have with China.
00:01:43.820 What relationship do we want to build? Do we actually have a whole comprehensive trade deal?
00:01:49.980 A lot of people are saying, calm down, time out. Maybe instead we should do sectoral deals, meaning,
00:01:56.520 all right, if you want to do something with the hospitality industry, tourism, let's work that
00:02:00.900 out. But baby steps, baby steps. See what we can do and what we can trust and work from there. Those
00:02:08.260 other ideas I talked about, state-owned enterprises, we need to have a serious conversation about whether
00:02:13.020 or not we want any of them to be able to purchase anything in Canada anymore. I'll say the worst decision
00:02:18.140 Stephen Harper ever made in his tenure was letting Sinox-Nexon deal go through. Basically, the
00:02:23.040 Chinese government buying a part of our oil sands. And to Trudeau's credit, he said no to the ACON
00:02:28.120 deal. It was nice to see that next. But the landscape is changing, and I think both Stephen Harper and
00:02:33.500 Justin Trudeau weren't sure where things were at. Now we know. Now we have seen the true face of China
00:02:39.780 under Xi Jinping. We've got to develop a hard and fast China policy. ASAP.
00:02:48.140 So, struggle with this number?
00:02:52.080 Canada.
00:02:53.040 Canada.
00:02:54.180 For the apocalypse, go to Canada.
