Carney defends Canada’s approach to forced labour amid fallout from floor-crossing MP’s comments
Prime Minister Mark Carney defended Canada’s approach to forced labour as one of his newest MPs continues to face backlash for appearing to cast doubt on the practice in China.
Carney’s response to Michael Ma’s performance at committee last week comes during a sensitive moment in both Canada’s attempts to reset ties with Beijing and the ongoing trade war with the Trump administration — which is investigating whether its northern neighbour and dozens of other countries are failing to take action on forced labour.
