Mr. Speaker, I thank the member for bringing this matter to our attention. We take the safety and security of every Canadian abroad very seriously. Canadian officials in Ottawa and in China are working closely with their Chinese counterparts to address the situation in the affected area in light of the recent events.
Canada continues to liaise closely with our international partners to develop options. At four o'clock we will hold a press conference where we will explain to Canadians what measures we will be taking to care for and offer consular services to Canadians in China.
