7 ways to stop infiltration & co-optation of Canadian research by hostile authoritarian states

Dr. Christian Leuprecht (Professor, Royal Military College of Canada) testified at Canada's House of Commons Standing Committee on Science & Research on the infiltration and co-optation of Canadian research by hostile authoritarian states.

"Tax dollars, public research funding and public universities have for years been leveraged systematically to support and enable research and to use technology that benefits hostile authoritarian states that seem to undermine Canada's democratic institutions, electoral processes, economic prosperity, national security and fundamental values, as well as international multilateral institutions and so forth.
The government purports to have a values-based foreign policy, yet, for over 17 years, its own research dollars and institutions have been used by hostile states to advance nefarious purposes that run counter to those very values. This is not a random distribution problem. The problematic research partners and methods of infiltration and co-optation have been a matter of public record for at least five years, as have key areas of sensitive research."
