Good morning, colleagues.
We have a quorum. I call to order this meeting of the Subcommittee on International Human Rights of the Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Development.
I would like to welcome our witness, Mr. Lu Decheng. Mr. Decheng arrived in Canada last year as a refugee. He is really very courageous. I hope he will tell us his personal story.
We anticipate that Mr. Decheng will be the last witness in our ongoing study on the Canada-China bilateral human rights dialogue.
Mr. Decheng is accompanied by an interpreter. Mr. Decheng will present his testimony, I believe, in Mandarin, and it will be translated into English.
But you are bilingual; so you can answer the questions in French as well, can you not?
You are bilingual, are you not? I'm speaking of the interpreter.
