Thank you very much, Mr. Chair, and thank you to all the witnesses.
Mr. Berkshire Miller talked a bit in his presentation about imposing Magnitsky sanctions. Canada, of course, has been very reluctant and very slow in the situation with Hong Kong and the breaking of the “one country, two systems” rule. It was a promise made to Hong Kongers. It was not made just to Hong Kongers, but to the international community as well.
There are repercussions. We're seeing that now, with the national security law reaching here to Canada. A Canadian journalist, Victor Ho, is being targeted and has been put on the wanted list.
My question to all of the panellists is this: Should Canada embark on sanctions? If so, what measures should we undertake? What do you think the repercussions would be?
Why is Canada so afraid to take action?
