Madam Speaker, as members know, I was a history teacher. One of the biggest fears of historians—something I do not claim to be since I just taught the subject, which is a tough enough job—is to see the mistakes of the past being repeated. Regardless of who was or was not there or which party was in office, the reality is that we should have long since stopped using the services of people who are underpaid and exploited. We should have had the ethical fibre not to use services from countries that underpay their workers. I would like to know what solutions my colleague would propose to finally ensure our practices are ethical.

Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech. It was extremely important. It is sad that we have come to a point where we need to legislate something as important as this. What sorts of controls would my colleague recommend for companies that do not already have basic ethical standards in place to self-regulate in such cases?
