Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
Thank you very much, Professor, for your testimony. I sincerely hope that our final report will be an encouragement to our government to address at least some of those issues that you mentioned, particularly making sure that we do not allow any kind of extradition of Uighurs or Kazakhs from Canada.
From taking a look at the Tibetan situation and now the Uighur situation, one of the things that I've noticed over the years is the repression by the People's Republic of China, by the Communist Party. There never was any kind of strategy to dialogue with either of these ethnic communities with regard to their resources. They always do it by force. It is the same as what happened in the Tibetan situation, when they moved Han Chinese into Tibet to populate Tibet, intimidate Tibetans and diminish their culture.
This might be too big of a question for now, but in your opinion, is it the strategy of the People's Republic of China to always do things by force in order to send a clear message to the rest of their population that they'll take anything that they want?
