Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank our guest for coming today.
In 1996 I led the largest civil demonstration in the history of this country, and during that we had 105,000 people, which was a significant number, on the streets of Hamilton. During that time, often we talked and thought about what happened in Tiananmen Square, and about the difference in how we could protest here, the penalties and the costs. I have to say I have a great respect for the people who lived through that time. I want you to know that others were thinking of you.
Today you talked so eloquently about the needs of others in China, and other people could have come here and talked about their personal pasts and their personal trials. I respect you greatly for doing it in the manner you have done today.
