00:00:00.000 the government of China is an existential threat to Canada 0.53
00:00:04.220 on a multiplicity of levels, and we need to come to grips with that.
00:00:09.120 Is your government doing enough to deal with that, to confront it?
00:00:12.140 Well, it's not for me to say.
00:00:14.220 Well, you're a member of the governing caucus, aren't you?
00:00:16.820 The caucus, right.
00:00:17.740 But I think we need as a nation to come to grips
00:00:21.800 with the desire of the government of China
00:00:26.020 to resolve the basal states.
00:00:27.780 I don't think we have it.
00:00:30.800 So you think the public inquiry is warranted, then?
00:00:33.420 No, I think we need to think our way through this very quickly.
00:00:39.020 Why? What's the risk of it?
00:00:40.520 Well, because it's an existential threat
00:00:43.040 that we've never, ever faced before on a multiplicity of levels.
00:00:47.860 It sounds like you're saying it's more of a problem
00:00:49.480 in terms of the election and the democratic process.
00:00:52.300 It's more than the election.
00:00:54.300 It's at the universities, it's at the police stations,
00:00:57.020 it's at the Confucius Institutes, it's at the exploitation resources,
00:01:02.240 it's at the, I think, it's far bigger than that.
00:01:05.280 Are there any questions being raised now
00:01:06.540 about what the government move up for in two years?
00:01:09.280 Well, my views are that this is far larger,
00:01:14.460 that Canada, that the government of China
00:01:17.740 is an existential threat to Canada
00:01:19.620 on a multiplicity of levels.
00:01:23.060 And we need to come to grips with that.
00:01:24.500 Is your government doing enough to deal with that, to confront it?

00:01:29.640 Well, you're a member of the governing caucus.
00:01:32.180 The caucus.
00:01:33.380 But I think we need, as a nation, to come to grips
00:01:37.180 with the desire of the government of China
00:01:41.440 to turn us all in the basal states.
00:01:43.160 And I don't think we have.
00:01:46.140 So you think the public inquiry's warranted, then?
00:01:48.820 No, no, no.
00:01:50.040 I think we need to think our way through this very, very quickly.
00:01:54.400 Why? What's the risk of it?
