Madam Speaker, concerns are being raised about proposed changes to Hong Kong's extradition law. These changes would allow the extradition of anyone in Hong Kong, including 300,000 Canadians living there, to mainland China. We have an extradition treaty with Hong Kong. In mainland China, two Canadians are in jail and another two are on death row.
Democracies around the world are under threat. It is even more important at this time that Canada stand for democracy, human rights and the rule of law.
Will a minister from the government make a clear, unambiguous statement about these proposed changes to Hong Kong's extradition law?
