Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I just want to note that when I first arrived here in 2006—I won't name them—there were a number of MPs who said to me, the Falun Gong, stay away from them, they're crazy. I stopped and listened to them and I realized why these MPs were saying it was because of their disbelief of the facts, the horrific facts, of the people being murdered for their organs. I and others in this room have stood with the Falun Gong for a number of years, and Matas and Kilgour have come here at least three times that I can recall presenting the information. I'm really pleased with your testimony here today because it's added to the level of understanding, which is is so important. Recently I met with some Falun Gong practitioners, who were, I would say, slightly optimistic that the change of leadership that's happening in China was an opening for them. Listening to you today now I doubt that. In your efforts to study this, did you look at the leadership change and what that impact might be?
