Can you explain how the United States has seized billions of dollars and Canada has seized nothing?
I'm going to talk about World Vision's “Supply Chain Risk Report”, in which they say, “Canada is a significant contributor to [the] global problem”. They also say, “Canada imported nearly $48 billion [of] risky goods in 2021, representing over 7.5 per cent of our total imports”. They go on to say, “Risky imports increased by nearly 30 per cent since 2016.”
Canada's doing an absolutely terrible job of seizing goods made with forced labour. I mean, that's unequivocal. The United States has found billions. Canada has found nothing. World Vision's calling us out. The United States is calling us out.
Has CBSA just not been given the tools, like the U.S. border service has been, to seize these goods?
