Thank you.
I'd now like to welcome our witnesses for today.
With us, as an individual, we have Mr. Richard B. Fadden.
Welcome back. I remember having you here before.
From Canada-Hong Kong Link, we have Gloria Fung, immediate past-president. By video conference, for Hong Kong Watch, we have Katherine Leung, policy adviser.
I'd like to thank you all for your participation in our meeting today and for your flexibility in appearing so quickly.
I now invite Mr. Fadden to make an opening statement of up to five minutes.
Please go ahead, sir.
