Canada already has strong protections in place, and we will take further action to strengthen them through new legislation.

“Our government passed a law to stop forced labour and child labour. It makes businesses and government groups report what they are doing to keep both out of the products they buy and sell.”

“Mr. Speaker, Canada has been taking concrete action to combat forced labour through the Fighting Against Forced Labour and Child Labour in Supply Chains Act, which the Liberal government passed in 2024. Under this act, government institutions and businesses must report on the risks of forced and child labour in their supply chains, and outline the steps they are taking to address them. This is about increasing transparency, strengthening accountability and ensuring Canadian supply chains reflect Canadian values.”
