How does Sima Acan's voting record line up with your values?
Each of those projects is $50 billion to $60 billion and will create jobs for 100 years—for decades. Thank you so much for that hard work. When you pursue an international project, which Canadian export controls or foreign licensing requirements create delays for you? What could the federal government do to help you with that process?
Thank you, Chair. Thank you all for joining us today. Mr. Smith, it's always great to see you. As we all agree, Canada has what the world wants. We have a long history of exporting CANDU technology, as you mentioned, with 26 reactors in six different countries and potentially two more in the near future.

It was in the context of him being a doctor. It had nothing to do with that. An hon. member: Inaudible—Editor [] Sima Acan: You don't have to agree. It's unrelated.
I have a point of order.
I have a point of order, Mr. Chair.
I have a point of order, Mr. Chair. The issue is again relevancy. It's not relevant to the subamendment.
Yes, please.
C-35 Mr. Hamilton, the current framework relies on a risk-based approach using risk assessment and random selection to identify the shipments of goods that may have been produced by forced labour. With the introduction of Bill, the agency would work from a targeted list of higher-risk products, with the onus on the importer to prove their goods are free of forced labour. You explained very well
Thank you very much.
