Bill S-204

44th Parl. 1st Sess.
May 10, 2022
Xinjiang Manufactured Goods Importation Prohibition Act
  • Bill S-204, also known as the Xinjiang Manufactured Goods Importation Prohibition Act, aims to amend the Customs Tariff to prohibit the importation of goods manufactured in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of China. This is due to ongoing human rights abuses and genocide against Uyghur and Turkic Muslims in that region. The bill has been introduced in response to international recognition of these abuses and calls for sanctions against Chinese Communist Party officials involved. Once the bill receives royal assent, it will come into force on the first anniversary of that day.

Context: House Hansard - 11 - Dec/6/21
Mr. Garnett Genuis (Sherwood Park—Fort Saskatchewan, CPC)
Mr. Speaker, the final petition I am tabling today is with respect to Bill S-223. The bill has had a number of different names and numbers. It is the bill that seeks to make it a criminal offence for a person to go abroad and receive an organ taken without consent. The bill has been in the works for over 15 years, trying to address forced organ harvesting and trafficking. It has been put forward in every Parliament I have been a part of, under Bills S-240 and S-204. Now it has been retabled in the Senate as S-223, and I am hoping against hope that this Parliament will finally be the one that gets it done. I commend all these petitions to the consideration of hon. members.
