Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all of the witnesses for coming and sharing this very difficult testimony.
Similar to my colleague from the Liberal Party—and I should say Eid Mubarak—I also see the commonalities with the residential system that we've seen in Canada. It seems like the same tools have been used to destroy the Tibetan people. Obviously, that is extremely upsetting.
His Holiness just spoke a bit about wanting Canada to take a leadership role in this. I would like to ask all three witnesses if they could comment on what other countries have said and what other countries have been doing with regard to support. I would just like to get a sense of where that situation is.
I know that when dealing with the PRC it's always best if we can work with our allies and if we can work with other like-minded countries as a bloc. It is an easier and more effective way of us doing that work. I'm just wondering where other countries are at and if there are any that have been leading on this and any that have been doing really good work that we can look to.
Perhaps I'll start with His Holiness and then maybe the other two witnesses would like to jump in.
