Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Sangay, for joining us despite the late hour. I'm sorry for the procedural delay at the start of the meeting.
As you may know, this committee is particularly concerned about the current situation in Hong Kong. Over the next few days, we'll be looking at the situation more closely. I gather that you've drawn a parallel between the situation in Tibet and the current situation in Hong Kong. You spoke of the 17-point agreement negotiated in the early 1950s and the national security law that was passed and that now applies to Hong Kong.
What specific point are you trying to make by drawing this parallel, which you established some time ago? What should we learn from this comparison?
