Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for her question about importing goods made with forced labour. That is a major problem. I think the crux of the problem is this.
Canadian law bans the importation of products produced from forced labour. This was first agreed to in the Canada-U.S.-Mexico trade agreement and then, subsequently, implemented in Canadian law. Importing products into Canada via forced labour is already banned. The problem is that the government has not enforced the law.
For example, thousands of shipments of cargo containers from western China that have been produced using Uyghur forced labour have been interdicted by U.S. authorities and prevented from entering the United States over the last five years. In Canada, not a single cargo container has been stopped and prevented from entering Canadian supply chains under the CUSMA agreement, and that is to the shame of the Canadian government, which, after five years, has failed to enforce our treaty obligations.
