Forced Labour in Canadian Supply Chains
Forced labour can be found in every country and every sector. The International Labour Organization estimates that there are approximately 28 million victims of forced labour worldwide, including 17.6 million in the private economy. There is a risk that goods entering the Canadian market through global supply chains were produced using forced labour or child labour.
The Fighting Against Forced Labour and Child Labour in Supply Chains Act (the Act) aims to increase industry awareness and transparency about forced labour and child labour, and to encourage responsible business practices.
