But, sir, there's a genocide going on. Parliament has unanimously recognized a genocide targeting Uyghurs, and Hikvision cameras, which deploy race-based facial recognition technology, are an instrument of that repression.
Do you think that the people you invest on behalf of—teachers, university employees and municipal employees in British Columbia—think it's acceptable that you are defending investments in a company that is complicit in a genocide on the basis of, “Well, you need to diversify your portfolio.”
I mean, if you were investing on my behalf, I would take slightly less return in exchange for knowing that you're not invested in companies that are complicit in genocide. I don't think that's necessarily the trade-off, but I would accept that trade-off if that's what it was.
Do you think the people you're investing for would find this acceptable?
