Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I echo my colleague Mr. Brunelle-Duceppe when he thanked all of you for being here and for showing the bravery to share your stories with us.
Hearing the testimony that the community is self-silencing because of the fears they feel and knowing the risk that you take for being here, it means an awful lot to us. We will take your testimony very seriously because we recognize both the seriousness of the situation and the risk that you take in sharing it with us.
Thank you very much.
Please know that we recognize the impact that this has on all of you. We are very grateful that you're willing to share with us today.
I want to start with some questions for Ms. Lau.
We've seen a change in the direction of focus with the international response to what's happening in Hong Kong. There is a shift towards, as you mentioned, the institutional overhaul of the electoral system, education system, immigration bans and whatnot, but the human rights violations that have happened during the protest movement are continuing to happen. We've heard time and time again during the testimony this evening that we're now overlooking that protest movement, yet those human rights abuses are still happening.
Can you talk about what you would like Canadians to know about what is happening in Hong Kong with regard to human rights abuses?
