Thank you very much.
My first question is for Mr. Evans and Mr. Chan.
A number of witnesses have already spoken about the restrictive aspect of the immigration measures put in place, the fact that they only target students, for example, and not necessarily the average protester who may be an older, uneducated and non-bilingual person. They also talked about travel restrictions. It is known that the borders could at some point be closed to people from Hong Kong who would like to leave their country. Beyond that, there are also people in Hong Kong who may wish to stay and not abandon their families.
Last week, a witness mentioned that what is even more effective than immigration and refugee measures is making sure that there is no persecution in the first place.
I would like to hear from both of you about international relations measures that could be put in place to help people who wish to stay in Hong Kong.
