Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'll be splitting my time with Elizabeth May from the Green Party.
Thanks for being here today and for bringing this forth. It's so important and so topical.
As we all know, there was advocacy today on the Hill. Many of us were contacted about this very issue, among other issues. However, under the rubric of the Uighur, which we have a high level of awareness of, thankfully.... We all unanimously said that genocide is occurring towards these people.
With respect to this piece of legislation that's coming forth, it's good that it is broad in scope and catches the entire world, the international community, because we know that forced labour doesn't only occur in one region or another.
With respect to reporting, can you speak about how we can trust the reporting mechanism and reporting that's being done? Is verification built into this? Would you like to elaborate upon that some more?
