Thank you, Mr. Chair. Ni hao and xie xie for being here.

I've had some contact in Edmonton with the Hong Kong-Canada Business Association. It's a very dynamic and profitable organization for both countries.

Mr. Lee, how much confidence do you have in Mr. Xi being the reformer that you hope he is? In the opposition legislatures in Hong Kong is there enough strength there to effectively vote against, or try to block, the legislation if he is not the reformer that you hope he is?
