It's important to understand, however, that even if we do allow some forms of child labour in Canada, we're still in a situation where we can prevent these working children from sacrificing too much of their education. On the other hand, in some countries, suspending studies can be the lesser of two evils, as I explained earlier. It also prevents undesirable situations where one prohibited job is replaced by another job that's prohibited but even more dangerous.
Therefore, I'd like to warn the committee about this problem that often arises in the fight against child labour.
That said, even if you change nothing in the bill, I'm convinced that out there, it will be hard to fully enforce a ban on child labour, because you won't have the cooperation you need from local communities to prevent it.
