Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. I just want to mention three quick things. One, we have quite a high-profile gentleman named Thanh Campbell, who is one of those who came over from Vietnam in a boat years ago and has written a book. He's making very public the plight of the Vietnamese today.
Also, we have a champion in Hamilton, the Reverend John Smith, who was working with, and really leading, the group that brought many of the Vietnamese here when they were evacuating Vietnam, and they are now living here with very successful lives.
I just want to echo the comments of my colleague Professor Cotler. I'm very impressed. I think this is probably the largest diaspora that we've seen at a committee meeting. It represents the dedication that you have for your brothers and sisters back home to bring a greater level of independence and freedom for them. Commendations to you.
You had mentioned to my colleague about the patronage that the government wants to get from China, but you've also talked about the corruption that's endemic in this Community Party. Do you sense, along with the other movement you've talking about, some kind of crackdown from the Chinese? They're going through their own purge in Beijing from the fact that they understand how difficult it is to try to retain power if the people see that there's open corruption. Do you sense any positive movement in that regard?
