Carney is asked " Prime Minister, do you agree with the 2021 House of Commons vote that China's persecution of Uyghurs is a genocide?"
Carney "Look, there are fundamental issues in terms of China's treatment of the Uyghurs in the past, and they've been rightly called out.
Q "Do you agree that it's ongoing?"
Carney "That it's ongoing. There are serious issues that remain, which is why in and you know, I've raised human rights issues with my Chinese counterparts in our engagements, and it's why it's essential in our dealings with China and commercial dealings with China that we have transparency in terms of where goods come from, the treatment of those workers, and that they fully meet our standards in terms of child labor, slave labor, human rights."
In French "So it's important, in fact, it's essential that our trade with China meet the fundamental standards set by Canada."
Carney is a guy who just can't say yes! @MarkJCarney
