Mr. Speaker, the abduction of Ukrainian children is one of the most illegal and egregious aspects of Russia's illegal and unjustifiable war. Last week, we brought together 70 countries to work toward the return of Ukrainian children, prisoners of war and detained civilians. We put on the table $7 million, including for grassroots organizations, to bring these children home. Putin must be stopped. This war is illegal, and we will stand with Ukraine in the short and the long term. Slava Ukraini.

Mr. Speaker, on the contrary, this government always stands with its legal obligations. At the same time, we have introduced Bill C-35, and we very much hope that the opposition will work with us. Through the summer, we will be consulting, and we will be coming up with a list of goods that will be the subject of sanctions in the case of forced labour. We stand up for human rights. We stand up for the rights of those subjected to slavery in supply chains, and we will not let it happen.

Every good that enters this country is subject to rigorous import controls and screening. We allocated $600 million in last year's budget to address forced labour. We prioritize the inclusion of comprehensive labour provisions in free trade agreements to promote international labour standards. We stand with workers everywhere—

Mr. Speaker, I want to underline that Canada will always protect the rights of workers within and outside this country. The $600 million allocated in last year's budget was on top of a number of measures that we have taken in our negotiations, in our free trade agreements with other countries around the world, a point I emphasized last Friday when I spoke with China's Minister of Foreign Affairs. I want to say that our economy, at the same time, has grown by more than 17% in terms of our exports. We will build Canada—
