Replying to Pierre Poilievre (Conservative)

“Mr. Speaker, the question was for the Prime Minister. We already know that Canadian workers lose out every time the country imports a product made with forced labour, because that reduces wages and takes jobs away from Canadians. Canadians are also losing out because of the U.S. tariffs on goods purchased from regions where forced labour is used. When will the Prime Minister finally take action to ban all products from the Xinjiang province?”
