Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to welcome my colleagues, Mr. McKay and Ms. Miville‑Dechêne, and note their work. I think it was high time to legislate on this matter.
We were very pleased to see the measure put in place by the federal government to prohibit any goods manufactured using forced labour by the Uighurs, in the People's Republic of China, from entering Canada. The problem is that the ability to conduct checks is very limited in that measure. It must be hoped that, with Bill S‑211 and, eventually, the other bill requested by the National Council of Canadian Muslims, controls can be tightened at the border to be able to truly conduct checks.
I have a brief question. What prevents companies from simply deciding to relocate their activities to avoid being subject to this legislation?
