Thank you, Mr. Chair. Welcome back, Mr. Chair, from moving your private member's business.
Good afternoon, everyone.
I thank the members across for the two motions that we are discussing this morning in committee. I'm sure we can get some work done today and get these things done so that we can move on with the other pressing matter that this committee has to work on.
I would like to amend the following thing in Mr. Kmiec's motion. After you wrote “open work permits and study permits”, delete “and”, and I would like to add, “pursuant to Standing Order 109, that the government provide a comprehensive response.” I'd like to add that to the end of the motion. In this way Mr. Kmiec can get an answer from the government on this important issue. Hong Kongers are important to me also. I have lots of Hong Konger friends too, one of whom is right across from me.
