Le sénateur Woo a établi ce lien entre les torts historiques contre les immigrants chinois et les efforts visant à créer un registre de transparence des influences étrangères au Canada.

Senator Yuen Pau Woo, facilitator of the Independent Senators Group (ISG) speaks with the media in the foyer of the Senate in Ottawa on Thursday Nov. 28, 2019. Woo questions whether a foreign influence registry might become "a modern form of Chinese exclusion," and says angry reaction to his suggestion proves his point about racial profiling and stigmatization.
