“Canada and the United States agree that goods made with forced labour should not enter our countries. Canada already has strong rules against this, but we will make new laws to make them even stronger. We will keep working with our partners to protect workers and ensure fair trade.”
“Mr. Speaker, let me be clear. Canada and the United States share the goal of keeping goods produced through forced labour out of our supply chains. Canada, right now, already has strong protections in place. We will take further action to strengthen them through new legislation. We will continue working closely with our partners to uphold high labour standards and ensure fair, rules-based trade.”
