I think it's premature to provide any comments on what Bill C-35 might be compared to the United States and the EU, since it's recently been introduced. We certainly are in touch with the United States, Mexico, the European Union and other of the 35 countries I mentioned that are working on addressing this issue.
I think it's fair to say that the U.S. system is longer standing. I believe their law dates back to 1930, and other countries and economies like the European Union are looking carefully at the U.S. system and how to potentially improve it.
My understanding is that the European Union's ban on products made with forced labour entered into force on December 13, 2024, but will not become applicable in full until December 14, 2027. I think the European Union is a comparator that we'll be looking at very closely. Their system is obviously, like the U.S. system, very different from ours, so it's not necessarily going to be possible to compare it one for one.
Again, I expect there will be experts before Parliament who can provide a more nuanced analysis, but our intention is to be as strong or stronger than the European Union in terms of outcomes.
