Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly says she was pleased to receive a report by a House committee that voiced support for those in China who took to the streets en masse last December to protest draconian lockdowns and the suppression of human rights amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

The report by the Canada-China special committee was presented to the House on Dec. 1, 2022, during the massive protests in China over the communist regime’s draconian “zero-COVID” policy. The protest was dubbed the “White Paper Revolution,” as many participants held up a blank piece of paper instead of banners with slogans to avoid censorship or arrest.
