Thank you very much. I appreciate the member's question.
I also appreciate the fact that this has raised the issue of forced labour sky-high. A group of us has taken the opportunity to write to the Prime Minister to propose areas where we think Canada has backtracked this calendar year on its enforcement of forced labour, and what we can do to get back to what we were doing just last year. This is really important if we're going to be successful in the section 301 investigation.
I must say that the member who took me to task at the last meeting was lauded in state media in China. The story went all across social media in China. He's a hero and I'm a zero. That's a problem for me because I have a lot of friends and former colleagues in China with whom I can't communicate now because I'm sanctioned. I can't tell them what happened and what the impact has been here. I've been hearing from a lot of Han Chinese. They've been saying that they, too, have been subject to forced labour in China. That's something I'm going to be responding to.
