Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you very much, gentlemen.
Mr. Frolic and Mr. Préfontaine, I must say I read both of your presentations and they are both great. I will go right away to the question.
In your presentation, Mr. Frolic, there are six recommendations, but number four was about expanding participation from the Canadian civil society sector. In the first paragraph you wrote that the lack of transparency in the past is viewed as a weakness. I would like you to elaborate on this.
My second question is this. We know there is a major political change in China--there is no doubt about it. Even the witness just mentioned that there will not be an election at the higher level for a long time. But capitalism is there, and there is a little inclusion of some democracy, if we can say so.
What about human rights? At the end, I would like you to elaborate a bit on human rights. Which one comes first, human rights or democracy?
