Mr. Speaker, I congratulate my colleague and friend on his very interesting speech. He always shares such insightful thoughts with us in the House.
We are in favour in principle of having an agreement with Indonesia. We must continue to diversify markets, but, as he said, the United States is still our main partner, so we will have to continue to negotiate and trade with it.
I want to ask my colleague about workers' rights. Modern trade agreements should increasingly include provisions to ensure that these rights are upheld. Indonesia, a big country with a rich culture, is committed to this, but the reality is that the widespread use of subcontracting has given rise to a number of confirmed cases of child labour. About one million children are reportedly engaged in child labour. We know how important the textile industry is there. Then there is the leather tanning industry, which uses chemicals that are hazardous to the migrant workers, who are often women.
What does my hon. colleague think about that?
