Canada has vigorously spoken up with respect to the fact that there has been this process of having fewer and fewer citizens of Hong Kong eligible to become legislators. It is now down to less than a quarter, and of course they all must demonstrate that they are “patriotic to China”.
We've made it very clear in our communications with the Chinese government that these incursions on democracy, moving away from the one-country, two-systems rule and the basic law, are retrograde steps that are not acceptable and are having a major impact not only on the people of Hong Kong but on our relations with China with respect to human rights.
