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, the budget is about to be tabled and holds market information that will impact the portfolios of average Canadians. That is why it is released after the markets close. However, the NDP leader revealed at a press conference this week that he was given an advance screening, and he shared this information with other members of the NDP elite. This could be considered important intel for insider trading. Did the finance minister inform NDP members privy to the budget of their responsibilities to the Ethics Commissioner, or did she give them time to adjust their stock portfolios first?
