Thank you for the question.
As Professor Laura Murphy said, we are not acting. The government is not imposing the existing law, and so far CBSA has not seized a single shipment entering Canada of goods made using Uighur forced labour.
We are strengthening the Chinese regime by directly investing our public funds into the Chinese companies that profit from the genocide and the forced labour, while at the same time we are allowing those companies to raise funds through stock markets.
Also, we are purchasing those products in the Canadian market as well, so we are fully supporting China in its ongoing policy of using slave labour to produce products while at the same time committing genocide. The money we send to China does not strengthen the people; it strengthens the Chinese Communist Party and Xi Jinping. We are seeing that the Chinese government is using all sorts of violence against the peaceful protesters. That strength comes from our invested dollars. We have to use a legislative approach or we have to just simply copy what the U.S. did.
