Thank you, Mr. Chair.
In January 2021, Canada announced new measures to help address the risk of being complicit in human rights abuses in [Inaudible—Editor] China and specifically mentioned the Uyghurs. Personally, I find it alarming and offensive that a Canadian member of Parliament uses his time not to protect Canadians but to defend a foreign country that has been well-documented by Human Rights Watch and even our own government for human rights abuses, and also to attack the credibility of one of the witnesses sitting before us today.
Ms. McCuaig-Johnston, I'll allow you some time to defend your credibility on this issue and maybe highlight why it's such a problem if we allow vehicles to be imported into Canada that are being developed through the use of forced labour.
