Gloria Fung, past-president of Canada-Hong Kong Link, voiced her concerns recently, stating that a significant gap remains because Ottawa has yet to appoint a commissioner or clearly outline the registry’s operational framework.
Fung, alongside representatives from other cultural organizations, participated in a news conference to highlight the persistent threats of foreign interference, including intimidation and coercion directed at diaspora communities.
New Democrat MP, Jenny Kwan, who also attended the event, criticized the government’s delay in launching the registry.
“Where is that registry? What does it entail, and what are the obligations for those affected? We have no clarity on any of these issues,” she said.
