If he keeps up with this irrisponsible (for obvious reasons) position, both JT and the LPC should be concerned with a Breach of Fuduciary Duty class action.  "A fiduciary (Government Minister) must not allow any conflict of interest (preference to Chinese interests, etc.) to infect their duties towards the beneficiary (Canadian taxpayers) and must exercise a high standard of care and good faith in protecting or promoting the interests of the beneficiary".

A potentially arguable case.
