I understand there's an issue with ParlVU right now. Could we have the clerk investigate that?

I have a point of order, Mr. Chair.

There's not a matter for debate before the committee at the moment, so I'm not sure this is appropriate.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'm pleased to be here this morning to debate what is in my view a very straightforward and simple motion to have this committee, the ethics committee, review the recently announced Canada-B.C. partnership on condo conversion—what has more colloquially become known as “the condo bailout”. Minister of Housing This motion requests that individuals who are involved with the [more]

Chair, I don't think this is a point of order.

It was this morning. Okay. That's excellent. minister minister The letter that was received even later by committee members was clearly an attempt by theto give Liberal members cover and avoid this study. This letter provides no new information and no new explanations, and it restates some of the unpersuasive arguments that the government has previously made. For example, thesaid that this [more]

That's fair. Could you provide the committee with a copy of that targeted list?

You mentioned that the list includes entities. Is it solely entities? Does it include goods, regions or countries?

I mean the targeted list that you say the CBSA uses.

What has CBSA been using for the last five or six years to inform its enforcement of the import ban?

C-35 minister Can you tell me when the first draft of Billwas completed and sent to the's office? Maybe Ms. Wilshaw can respond.

Another concerning aspect of that report is that they say: The Canada Border Services Agency, the agency responsible for enforcing Canada’s forced labor import prohibition, does not appear to publish official statistics or other information regarding its enforcement efforts. Is that true?

I have to say it's kind of concerning to me that we have five people here from what are supposed to be the responsible departments, yet no one can provide answers or any information on goods that for months have been publicly known to have caused concerns about forced labour. I find that unacceptable. I don't think the CBP in the U.S. shares your view. CBP says: Canada has not taken action to [more]

It is, yes.
