Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I should stress that I'm new to the committee and new to Parliament as well, but one thing that strikes me is that Canada's engagement on human rights in China has taken a back seat to trade imperatives. I'm concerned about that.
I listened to your comments earlier about civil society groups and bypassing the regime. More recently, you spoke about how other countries tend to be encouraging that. Are we in a position to put some people at risk if we do that?
Second, I've stated among my caucus for a while that the Olympics offer an opportunity to influence that we're not going to see in several generations. Perhaps you might have some recommendations as to how we could move forward on that. One of the things I would believe is that if we brought the sponsors and the IOC before this committee, it might be a place to plant some seeds and it might be helpful.
