Yes.
The protection of freedom of expression, the promotion of democracy and the protection of human rights are critical values that guide Canada's foreign policy around the world. They are a key pillar of our foreign policy, and we work very closely with our allies on these issues.
Hong Kong is another good example. In March, Canada and our G7 partners issued a statement expressing grave concerns over the decision by the National People's Congress to overhaul Hong Kong's electoral system.
We worked together in early January, joining Australia, the United Kingdom and the U.S. in a joint statement around reiterating our serious concerns over mass arrests. This is not only vis-à-vis Hong Kong or only vis-à-vis China, but these are positions and views that Canada expresses in multiple fora when we see the need to stand up with our partners and promote human rights, democracy and freedom of speech.
