Madam Speaker, I appreciate the hon. member's question, which is a good one: Why are we here? The larger answer is that we as a nation, we as parliamentarians and even we as a government are flummoxed by how to deal with the way in which China intervenes routinely, regularly and massively in the fabric of our society. We have never, ever in the history of our nation faced such a threat. That is why we are here. I want to stress how important this motion is and it is symptomatic of our somewhat chaotic response to the threat to our democracy. Again, I thank the hon. member for his question. I have asked myself “why?” a few times myself.
