Certainly. As you may be aware, Canada is one of the first countries in the world to do a forced labour prohibition. We did that initially through the customs tariff.
One of the challenges with that process, which my colleagues in CBSA can elaborate on, is that it did not allow for transparency for companies or the details for allowing a system to be in place for advance notice and analysis. One of the key elements of Bill C-35 is the ability to establish a list that would deal with goods and with regions and/or companies providing it. It would be a signal to companies importing that in those cases they need to have a very good demonstration, through regulations that would be established, that they are meeting the requirements, or the item would be banned at the border.
