Kelly McCauley at the Government Operations and Estimates Committee

I appreciate that, Mr. Matthews. I'm sorry to cut you off.

I'm looking for what we can do as a federal government. We have processes that prohibit the federal government from contracting with companies that are using forced labour out of the Xinjiang province. We hold those companies accountable. We are aware from Ms. Reza about the issues with subcontractors.

I'm not looking for a policy answer right now, but perhaps in writing we can get what we can do or what will be done to ensure that our provincial and municipal partners are following ethical hiring and that taxpayer money is not being used to support human trafficking, cartels or illegal workers.

Thanks very much.
