Mr. Speaker, at the most recent G7 meeting, the Prime Minister and the Liberal government committed to eradicating forced labour from international supply chains. However, the Liberals still entered into a $222-million contract with Supermax, which has been linked to egregious acts of forced labour, and they signed a $250-million contract with Sinopharm, a communist state-owned company controlled by Beijing that is committing gross human rights violations against Uighurs, Tibetans and Falun Gong practitioners. How can the Prime Minister justify these contracts, which are directly funding gross human rights violators?

Mr. Speaker, we know this government is committed to ensuring Canada's economic recovery continues at warp speed. In fact, the government has had such success that some sectors are facing labour shortages. One of the best ways to manage this is to welcome temporary foreign workers into Canada. This week, the Minister of Employment, Workforce Development and Disability Inclusion announced a series of significant enhancements that will make the TFW program more flexible for employers while adding protections for employees. Could the minister share with us some of the changes outlined in the announcement?
