I'd like to thank everybody for taking the time today. Thank you to Ms. Sahota for bringing forth the motion, Mr. Harris for bringing forth the amendments and everybody for standing strong and in solidarity with Mr. Chong, the subcommittee and anybody who's been targeted by these sanctions.
As was mentioned by so many, we have to remain focused on the main issue, which is to reduce harm, save lives, and stop rape, torture, forced sterilization, abortion and forced slave labour. That's the main issue. That's why we must stand strongly in solidarity with Mr. Chong and with the subcommittee right now.
So much has been said. I don't like wasting my words. I will share that we do need to continue as a country to raise the alarm. All citizens need to continue to raise the alarm. Everybody has agency. Citizens have agency. Their agency is to share what they know with others around them, be it on social media, within their families or in their workspaces. That's a form of activism and a form of forward movement to help what we are all doing here together right now in this committee.
As parliamentarians, we need to think about the issues around how we can reduce the harm that's happening within Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. Thankfully, a number of measures have been introduced. At the beginning of this year, there were measures around imports and exports. That's a good first step. We introduced targeted Magnitsky sanctions, which were appropriate and measured. That's a very positive and necessary step. Our Parliament recognized 266 to zero that a genocide is in fact occurring.
There's still more to do. Let's get this motion passed. Let's stand in solidarity and continue forward.
