Vietnamese Refugees (Hong Kong)
8 MAY 1986
"We are very grateful to Hong Kong-to the authorities, the Government here and to the people because Hong Kong has given asylum and never, never refused to give asylum to refugees coming here and never forced them back against their will, and treated them well, but of course, they would like, as we would like, to see a solution a durable solution, for these refugees."
I am sure, Mr. Speaker, that the whole House will echo those final words of Mr. Hartling and agree that we need a durable solution to the refugee problem in Hong Kong.
Question put and agreed to.
Adjourned accordingly at twenty-nine minutes past Ten o'clock.
