I think what you and I both agree on is that it's better to have Canadian standards rather than those that exist in places like China today and potentially in other countries. Our standards can always be better, but they generally meet a better standard than a lot of workers in the world face on a day-to-day basis, especially in places like Africa.
Doesn't it make sense that we make sure Canadian companies carry forward their similar standards to the places where they do business outside of Canada? Generally speaking, wouldn't you say it would be better for a worker in Africa to work for a Canadian mining company versus a Chinese mining company, especially if the Canadian company is not competing there?
