Mr. Speaker, we know that the Canadian embassy in China is located in the vicinity of the U.S. embassy. In fact, it is in the same security sector.
Chinese protestors encouraged by the communist regime have targeted a number of symbols of the west, and have done considerable damage to the American embassy.
Can the minister tell us whether the Canadian embassy has been affected by the recent demonstrations, and what steps have been taken to ensure the safety of our embassy staff and of Canadian nationals in China?
