Madam Speaker, I appreciate the member's comments and those of his colleague. This is an important issue that we are debating today. With respect to the Xinjiang integrity declaration, it is about a broader examination of what is going on in China, particularly with respect to one community, the Uighur community. On the issue of Chinese human rights violations, it is articulated quite clearly in the Indo-Pacific strategy, which our government launched last November. It talks about being clear, open-eyed and transparent about calling out human rights violations against Tibetans, Hong Kong democracy dissenters, Taiwanese individuals and Uighurs. Does the member acknowledge that this is an important step in the right direction, vis-à-vis more accountability and transparency for China?
