Mme Diane Bourgeois:
Est-ce là ce que vous êtes en train de dire?
M. Charles Burton:
Oui, c'est effectivement vrai.Mme Diane Bourgeois:
Merci beaucoup. Je viens de tomber de ma chaise!

The Chair:
I just want to let the committee know my intentions here. We were to go into our in camera draft document report now, but I think my intention is that we will continue with this for the time being. We have probably Canada's predominant expert on China-Canada relations here with us right now. I'll give everyone the opportunity to have a question. I know there are a few who still have questions.
Mr. Burton, do you have time to stay with us?
Dr. Charles Burton:
I would be happy to stay.The Chair:
Wonderful. Thank you.Comment by me: Not sure that my colleagues in the academy would agree with the "predominant expert on China-Canada relations" assessment, but I am honoured to be noted as such in Hansard all the same.
