Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the member for Scarborough—Agincourt for her tireless advocacy on this matter. The Hongkongers who are here are safe, and we have absolutely no intention of sending them back. I am pleased to announce today that we will be announcing, as of May 22, that the Hongkongers who are here and have a valid status will be able to apply for a three-year open work permit while they wait for their permanent residency. This is an important measure. We will continue to stand with the people of Hong Kong.
