I completely agree.
We can't ignore what we're hearing today and what a number of witnesses have recently reported. For instance, Hong Kong Watch and Sheffield Hallam University released a report indicating that a number of institutional investors, particularly public pension funds, have investments in the People's Republic of China, thereby supporting companies that use forced labour and subject workers to wholly unfit conditions. It's becoming clear that companies aren't the only ones to blame for supporting forced labour and the Uighur genocide; even public pension funds are involved.
I'd like to say to our Uighur friends that not only do those investment and pension funds contribute to the genocide and forced labour, but also, those funds may be at significant risk, simply from an investor's point of view—as a Quebecer or Canadian. It's a ticking time bomb of sorts.
As I understand it, investment and pension funds in some Scandinavian countries had investments in Ukraine, and in the wake of the sanctions imposed by the west, Russia froze those investments. The people paying into those funds are losing money.
Isn't there a risk that, if China invaded Taiwan, it would do the same? Investors in Quebec and Canada could lose their investments.
