To follow up, during your most recent appearance at the industry committee, a Liberal government member questioned your credentials and expertise as an expert witness who can credibly speak about forced labour taking place in China. I'd like to give you an opportunity to comment on that.
Also, a recent United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights release, issued in January, is entitled “UN experts alarmed by reports of forced labour of Uyghur, Tibetan and other minorities across China”.
That release says:
According to the experts, forced labour in China is enabled through the State-mandated “poverty alleviation through labour transfer” programme, which coerces Uyghurs and members of other minority groups into jobs in Xinjiang and other regions.
I'd like to get your comments.
