Bill S-204

44th Parl. 1st Sess.
May 10, 2022
  • 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.
