Mr. Speaker, I want to congratulate my colleague on the excellent work she is doing on the issue of Uighur forced labour. She is doing such a good job that I am sure she will have the honour of being added to the sanctions list at some point as well.
It is so disappointing to see that the government seemed to want to be able to make some kind of an announcement on Uighur forced labour, yet after putting out an announcement it has been telling us it is not ready and is still working out details or backfilling things. By all indications, no shipments have been stopped. It seems to me that we need to see something modelled after the United States' Uighur forced labour prevention act: a bipartisan legislative initiative that recognizes the reality that so many of the products that come out of Xinjiang are at risk of involving forced labour.
It is more of a comment than a question. I want to congratulate my colleague on the work she is doing on this front at the trade committee. It is too bad she was not able to get the support for a study on that from other members, but hopefully we can continue to put pressure on the government to move this forward.
