“Canada has strong laws against forced labour. We check all goods coming into the country, and we are rebuilding our border services to enforce these rules.”
“Mr. Speaker, Canada has some of the most vigorous and rigorous forced labour laws in the world, and it has been clear that we condemn forced labour everywhere and anywhere it exists. Every good that comes into this country is subject to rigorous import controls and screening. After a decade of neglect, we are rebuilding the CBSA to ensure we have enforcement. We will continue to do that work. We will protect Canada’s interests this day and tomorrow.”
