Mr. Chair, the House recognized recently that China is committing a genocide against the Uighur Muslim minority in Xinjiang in China. The previous minister, on his very last morning in office, made a snap announcement about measures to ban the importation of products from China that had been produced using forced Uighur labour: measures that appear to be ineffective.
Is the government willing to introduce new measures, such as those introduced in the United States to ban cotton and tomatoes from Xinjiang Province, and to introduce tools for the CBSA such as cotton pollen tracing to ensure these products do not end up in Canada?
