Foreign Affairs committee  Yes, we'll take note of it and we will conduct further research. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Foreign Affairs committee  I have read the report and the findings of this important tribunal. As mentioned earlier, we believe it's important to build a very good body of research and information regarding the situation in Xinjiang. Again, we are looking forward to ongoing reporting and research, including the outcomes of Madam Bachelet's visit to Xinjiang in May.

Foreign Affairs committee  The steps we took in March 2021 were very important. That is one step we have taken. We have a comprehensive approach to addressing human rights concerns in Xinjiang. Sanctions are just one tool in our tool kit. Again, specific to the sanctions themselves, it is one step. It does not preclude further action down the line.

Foreign Affairs committee  I do not have any information on those particular individuals at this time.

Foreign Affairs committee  Mr. Chair, I would invite Mr. Patry to respond to this question.

Foreign Affairs committee  Mr. Hutchison, I'd invite you to respond to this question.

Foreign Affairs committee  Mr. Patry, could I ask you to respond to this question?

Foreign Affairs committee  Go ahead, Mr. Patry.

Foreign Affairs committee  This question is an important one. As you mentioned, unfortunately, we do not have any representatives from Finance Canada here with us today. They would be in the best position to respond to this inquiry.

Foreign Affairs committee  Thank you for the question. Yes, indeed, the events in Ukraine, I think, have shaken the world. However, I must add, as the executive director for the China political division at Global Affairs Canada, our work and the priority that the government places on our relationship with China continues on unabated.

Foreign Affairs committee  Thank you for that question. I would say that we are taking in all the information available, as well as the views of our partners around the world, and certainly the outcomes of Madam Bachelet's visit. All of these inputs will contribute to the development of ongoing policy work.

Foreign Affairs committee  Yes, we are aware of the decision of the Government of China to enact restrictions upon the three members of Parliament you've mentioned. That is something that we've been aware of, and those are actions that certainly we oppose. As you know, it's been a very difficult relationship between Canada and China in recent years.

Foreign Affairs committee  What I can say is that, yes, we are very much aware. We oppose those decisions by the Government of China.

Foreign Affairs committee  Mr. Chair, I'd invite Mr. Patry to address this question.

Foreign Affairs committee  I would invite Mr. Hutchison to address this question.
