Mr. Hamilton, the current framework relies on a risk-based approach using risk assessment and random selection to identify the shipments of goods that may have been produced by forced labour. With the introduction of Bill C-35, the agency would work from a targeted list of higher-risk products, with the onus on the importer to prove their goods are free of forced labour.
You explained very well the steps that you will be taking. Could you please also tell us how this targeted intelligence-led approach strengthens enforcement, as compared to the current method?
