Thank you for the question.
I'm sorry that I'll answer in English.
Yes, I was very critical at the time about forced labour and Canada's failure to uphold its commitments. That was in part because Canada was telling one story and then not monitoring and especially not enforcing. Unfortunately, I think it is a story that continues.
It is very easy to give speeches. It is very easy to make sweeping statements about the importance of eliminating forced labour from supply chains, but if we don't act on that by really focusing on shipments, monitoring and inspections, then it's all for naught.
I do worry that this issue has fallen off the radar almost entirely. I have not really heard any mention of it in quite some time. I think it continues to be very important, not just in terms of immediate shipments, but also if we think about some of Canada's own comparative advantage, for instance, in critical minerals. A lot of the world's critical minerals are mined in countries where children are enslaved. That is deplorable, and I think we would all condemn it. Canada also has a good story to tell in terms of the way it produces minerals.
I do worry about this issue, and I worry that it will fall off the radar with decision-makers.
