          <by role="member" id="4362">The Hon. J.S. LEE (15:09):</by>  There is no written document as such as being a parliamentary ambassador. It was a role for parliamentarians to be a promoter, if you like, to join the Confucius Institute for a study tour. That was a seminar held in parliament to promote the role of the Confucius Institute and to promote the study tours at the time. I believe that Martin Hamilton-Smith, a former member, former member Tom Kenyon, and former member Leesa Vlahos were all presented with, I think, just a certificate to say that they were an ambassador. There is no job and person specification as such. It was just to promote us as ambassadors so that the parliamentarians could be part of the information sharing, more than anything else.</text>
