Thank you, Chair.
Madam Morgan, perhaps you could now answer the question I asked Mr. Garneau. I'll repeat it for those who didn't hear it. It related to this committee recommending that the government convey to the Chinese ambassador to Canada that any interference with rights and freedoms of people in Canada is unacceptable, won't be tolerated and will result in serious consequences for those responsible.
In what manner was this conveyed to the Chinese ambassador? Can the deputy minister tell us whether there were serious consequences from the government for any persons who acted contrary to this requirement by interfering with the rights and freedoms of people in Canada?
