great deal of money from Hong Kong has been invested in
Canada.
2.
The Canadians have been generally supportive of our policies on Hong Kong. They have adopted a package of discreet confidence promoting measures to contribute to a stable and prosperous Hong Kong post 1997. The measures are intended to protect long-term Canadian interests in Hong

1997.
