Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I thank Ms. Turdush and Ms. Lhamo very much for being with us tonight.
Ladies, you are an example of strength, especially given the circumstances under which you come to testify before us. I think you should serve as an example to all of us.
My question is about the general involvement of the Chinese Communist Party in the actions against you. We know that students at McMaster University were praised, but some people might believe that the students may have taken some action on their own, organically.
Can you give us any examples that lead to you believe that this is coming from the Chinese Communist Party? I would also like you to talk about how it's structured. Do events all happen at the same time, as if someone has initiated the process?
