I'm talking slightly out of turn here as somebody from the United Kingdom. I don't want to seem as if I'm being too unfair on Global Affairs Canada, particularly when Global Affairs Canada have been very assertive and forward leaning in so many of their policy positions.
What I would say is that I think the U.K. has been very slow to act on the case of Jimmy Lai. It's only very recently that they have declared him a British citizen, which he has always been. It took a lot of pressure to even extract those words, and the meeting with the foreign secretary was very recent.
Also, the U.K. and China were the two duty bearers under the Sino-British Joint Declaration, so the U.K. had way more skin in the game, but that doesn't excuse other governments for not being more assertive. I would just hope that Canada would follow suit, which I think it will if there is sufficient pressure—at least that's my hope.
