For the purpose of closing. Mr. Speaker, again, I thank Ranking Member McCaul for his leadership in introducing this measure and his hard work in seeing its passage. China is flouting the international rule of law, targeting anyone who goes against them. And now, they have our ally Canada in their crosshairs. This is a commonsense resolution that shows the United States condemns this behavior and stands with our ally and with the families of those unjustly detained. Mr. Speaker, I am proud to support it, and I urge my colleagues to do the same. I thank Mr. McCaul for introducing it, and I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the gentleman from New York (Mr. Engel) that the House suspend the rules and agree to the resolution, H. Res. 521. The question was taken; and (two-thirds being in the affirmative) the rules were suspended and the resolution was agreed to. A motion to reconsider was laid on the table. ____________________
