Parliamentary submissions and testimony
We regularly engage with parliamentary and congressional inquiries in the US, UK and Canada, including the US Congressional-Executive Commission on China (CECC), the UK Joint Committee on Human Rights and the Defending Democracy Taskforce, and the Canadian Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security (SECU) and Special Committee on the Canada–People’s Republic of China Relationship (CACN). This includes testifying in special inquiries and hearings, and submitting written evidence. Our engagement with inquiries is impactful in shaping policy on Hong Kong.
