Thank you, Mr. Chair.
My response is that anyone can move anywhere, from one day to the text.
In the case of Hong Kong, you said that the bill would be retroactive to June 19, 2013. You can appreciate that we, as law-makers, closely examine why a bill will be retroactive.
Can you tell the committee why you have decided that this technical change will apply retroactively rather than from the time the bill is passed by the House of Commons?
