I will first explain the context of my question. As you know, this government has gotten involved in the past to defend human rights internationally. You probably know better than I do that India holds the unfortunate record of the country with the most child workers. Although its government maintains that the country currently has only 10 million children under the age of 14 working, NGOs, and even United Nations, think that some 60 million children are actually working.
They work as newspaper and street vendors, restaurant helpers, and so on. They work in agriculture, forestry and even in manufacturing, especially in clothing production for the international market.
Can you tell me what the Canadian government plans to do in order to ensure that we are not doing business with companies and levels of government that are involved in child slavery?
