I have reservations about this idea. I can see where they are coming from in wishing to safeguard the traditional Scottish kilt making industry but:-
1. Cheap foreign kilts worn by those who cannot yet afford a traditional 8-yard wool kilt help to popularise the kilt as a garment and can help grow the traditional kilt business in the longer term.
2. Are the splendid hand made kilts I have imported from USA Kilts and Freedom Kilts somehow thought to be inferior because they were made in USA and Canada? I do not think that can be the intention - even the salesman in Houston Kiltmakers was favourably impressed when I went into their shop in Paisley wearing a Freedom Kilt.
