Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I have four very quick questions for Madam Harth, and then questions for Professor Leuprecht.
First, about the 102 overseas police stations located in 53 countries, how many deportations have these overseas police stations been linked to?
My second question is regarding persuasion to return operations. You state in your “110 Overseas” report that the PRC's Fox Hunt and Sky Net operations, which have claimed to return or coerce more than 10,000 people back to the PRC, are more “modest in scale” than the establishment of these police stations. Can you tell us in what ways the establishment of these police stations is a bigger threat than the persuasion to return operations, which have sent some 10,000 people back to the PRC?
Third, what steps can be taken to stop the co-opting of Chinese overseas hometown associations by the United Front Work Department?
Fourth, media reports from March, this month, indicate that the RCMP have begun investigating two police stations in Montreal and Brossard. Both of these stations are directed by Xixi Li, a municipal councillor for Brossard. My question is with regard to this particular municipal councillor working at this police station. How common is it for elected municipal councillors to work at these police stations, from the research that you've done?
Those are my four questions. I know that's a lot, but I wanted to get them out there.
