Madam Speaker, while we are talking about forced labour in Canada's supply chains, I want to talk about what is happening here at home.
We had the UN Special Rapporteur on contemporary forms of slavery comment. She highlighted that the temporary foreign worker program in Canada is being used as modern-day slavery by some bad players. Now, in my hometown of Port Alberni, 15 temporary foreign workers had the courage to come forward, after working long hours and not getting paid overtime, not getting paid the wages they were promised and having no running water with 15 men living in a trailer, although there were initially 30 of them, exposed to unsafe working conditions. This was a company that the Conservative leader cozied up to and did a big photo shoot with. Guess what? When this became public, he was nowhere to be found to stand up for these workers.
Will the member condemn the San Group for what it did and how it mistreated these workers? We stand in this House and condemn what it did to those workers.
