“The government claims Canada already has strong rules against importing goods made with forced labour. I want them to explain why they are introducing a new bill to ban those same goods if the current rules are enough.”
“Mr. Speaker, perhaps somebody on that side over there can answer this question. For weeks, the Prime Minister and government ministers have insisted that strong measures are already in place to combat the importation of products using forced labour into Canada. If that is the case, why did the government give the House notice that it is going to introduce a bill entitled “An Act respecting the prohibition of the importation of goods produced by forced labour”?”
