Thank you, Chair.

Thanks to the witnesses for being with us this morning.

The Xinjiang integrity declaration is a tool we are using to make sure we don't get involved in any trade that has human rights violations or labour violations and all.

Can you advise us on how the government is going to implement this? What specific tools will the government use to make sure that, with this declaration signed by the industry, the importers and the people involved in this whole trade are following this? Is it as effective as it should be, rather than becoming a symbolic tool?
