Instead of hearing that, I'd like to follow up by saying I'm really shocked that the department doesn't know if forced labour is being used to produce PPE for Canadians. I'm sure we would all agree that Canadians deserve to know if their government is financially supporting forced labour. I would expect the department to make that a priority, given the reports we are seeing in the news. Sure, if you want to follow up with your protocol, great, but I think it's shocking that we don't know.
