Canada is trying to stop importing goods made by forced labour. Here is why it is not working
China did not wait for Canada to act. While Ottawa spent six years
allowing goods made with Uyghur forced labour to move largely unhindered
from Xinjiang into Canadian markets, Beijing was building a legal
system designed to punish countries and companies that eventually might
dare to act.
Beijing is betting that six years of near-total enforcement failure are a
reliable guide to Ottawa’s future behaviour. C-35 is the chance to
prove that bet wrong, but only if the Carney government is prepared to
write the one word that every credible Uyghur forced labour policy
requires: Xinjiang.
