Citizenship and Immigration committee  I'm not familiar with what other countries have in place for Hong Kong. I will say that Canada has traditionally had one of the most generous pathways for anyone seeking protection and support.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  We are concerned because the law may put people currently living in Hong Kong in danger. That is why we've put in place programs to help people who would like to leave Hong Kong and those who want to stay in Canada and benefit from our protection.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  If I understand the question correctly, applicants for permanent residence, once they are approved, are eligible, of course, for the standard settlement and integration services that IRCC offers. In the case of applicants who are perhaps seeking to come as refugees, they would be eligible for the programs that are available for persons seeking that status.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Thank you very much for the question. I would like to ask one of my colleagues who is more familiar with the MPF to address the question. Thank you.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Thank you, Chair. Before I begin, I would like to acknowledge that I am speaking today on the traditional unceded lands of the Algonquin Anishinabe peoples. I would also like to acknowledge that I'm joined here by my colleagues, as already mentioned, from the Department of Finance, IRCC, and the Department of Global Affairs Canada.
