Good morning, Mr. Chair, and good morning to my colleagues.
Good morning to the witnesses. Thank you very much for joining us today.
I wanted to start with discussing how this, I believe, requires urgent action. I was part of the international human rights subcommittee that did the study in 2020. It found that what is happening in Xinjiang against the Uighur people is, in fact, genocide, yet we have not seen a lot of action from the Canadian government since then.
One comment that was part of the opening statement today was with regard to the legislation that is expected. Can we get more clarity on how that legislation has progressed? When can we expect it to be tabled? Will that legislation have implications on procurement for the government as well as procurement for the private sector?
I'll start there and then I have some follow-up questions on that.
