Mr. Speaker, so far in 2026, the U.S. Customs authority has blocked 1,198 shipments worth about $75 million on concerns with forced labour. I know this because the U.S. authorities make their data publicly available. I checked it this morning.
In contrast, the Liberal government does not. When I asked for this information at the Standing Committee on International Trade, I received a written response that said the government is “unable to provide the requested information”.
If the U.S. authorities can make their data publicly available to see, why can the Liberal government not?
