Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you to the committee.
Ms. Kwan, we talk about union members and good workers in Canada. We want to protect those jobs. We're talking about the mining sector. Right now, this committee is debating tariffs on China. This government right now has not chosen to put tariffs on critical minerals from China, but 70% of cobalt and lithium is mined and refined there and bought by Canada here. Those aren't union jobs in Canada. Those are in China. Ninety per cent of the rare minerals that provide batteries and magnets for batteries are mined in China and brought here.
Can you tell me about the labour standards here in Canada versus China and why those unionized mining jobs in Canada should be protected?
