Canada-China Relations committee  I just wanted to echo those sentiments and also just add to that. The mere fact that I have no access to my own family members and that my generation of Tibetans do not know how to speak their own mother tongue is in itself a sign of violence and the aftermath of what they're doi

Canada-China Relations committee  I want to echo those sentiments. Yes, it's heartening. However, at what cost is it? Today, if there is another student who goes through the violence I had to go through, are they still going to be just given another walkie-talkie and be expected to stay safe? The reason I'm spea

Canada-China Relations committee  I could give you more concrete results if any of the reports or investigations done by various levels of security were actually given to me or if I had access to them. To this day, I don't have any piece of paper that shows them. However, friends have sent me screenshots of folks

Canada-China Relations committee  Thank you. I appreciate the time. To Mr. Harris, there were some investigations. However, what is the purpose of investigations if there is no impact?

Canada-China Relations committee  I'm sure you'll get more information in the testimonials following this, by the Hong Kongers, because there have been a lot of arrests of Hong Kongers.

Madam MP, if I were to say, “You can't bring

Canada-China Relations committee  The answer is no. However, I have met with various RCMP investigators and officials who have never given me that number.

Canada-China Relations committee  I think it's to lead by example. When the government takes concrete action by implementing legislation to counter covert Chinese government interferences—and there are examples led by other governments like the U.S. or Australia that you folks can take and implement within the Ca

Canada-China Relations committee  You're absolutely right, but prior to that I've actually been the Racialized Students' Collective coordinator. I was vice-president, equity. I'm a tri-campus athlete. I've been serving the chemistry society and the pre-med society as well in leadership positions.

Canada-China Relations committee  This could actually answer part of Ms. Normandin's question as well. The night the elections were over, there was some sort of connection to the Chinese embassy, because there was a petition that started overnight at the end of the elections, because they came to find out that

Canada-China Relations committee  Sure. I think it was the latter, Jack. You just mentioned that you're a former student politician, so you know how hard it is to get students to go out and vote. I was rallying for three straight days, and actually my Tibetan new year—lunar new year—coincided with it. In my tradi
