Global Affairs Canada is Canada's lead on providing protection to Canadian citizens and permanent residents abroad, but of course, we work very closely with them to provide support services. The consul general in Hong Kong remains ready, and has been providing ongoing passport and citizenship services to our clients. There has been no break in that service being provided, even during the global pandemic.
Until September 30, our IRCC offices in Hong Kong have issued nearly 5,000 passports to Canadian citizens this year. We have also supplied our office in Hong Kong with a large number of emergency travel documents, and mitigation plans are in place to ensure that passport and citizenship services continue to be provided. I understand there's been a significant amount of outreach done to Canadians in Hong Kong to ensure they have the travel documents they require.
