Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I also would like to thank the witnesses.
I want to address my question to you, Mr. Lhadar, because my question flows out of your testimony.
You made certain specific suggestions and recommendations as to what we might do. One is to send a fact-finding parliamentary delegation into Tibet. If we could do that, I think it would be an important initiative.
The next is to issue a statement and pass a resolution in the Canadian Parliament on the matters, as you've suggested.
Then, in referring to the Canadian companies doing business with China, you made reference to the Nexen-CNOOC deal, the takeover by a Chinese state enterprise, CNOOC, of Nexen here in Canada.
Do you believe that type of arrangement is, in effect, as you put it, “indirectly funding” the PRC's human rights abuses and undermining the Tibetan cause?
