Description

Parliament passed a law aimed at reducing forced labour and child labour linked to goods sold in Canada. The act requires certain companies and government institutions to report on how they prevent forced labour in their supply chains. It also created a legal framework that supports stronger oversight and public transparency. The goal is to increase accountability for sourcing practices, including imports. This law is commonly referred to as the “Supply Chains Act.”
