Reporting under the Supply Chains Act

The Government of Canada wants to make sure that exploitative practices are removed from the supply chain.

The Fighting Against Forced Labour and Child Labour in Supply Chains Act, aims to:

• enhance industry awareness and transparency
• encourage businesses to improve their practices

All government departments must now report on the measures that have been taken in the previous fiscal year to prevent and decrease the risk of forced labour and child labour within their operations and supply chains. This new requirement will:

• make sure that government procurement and contracting are accountable and transparent
• promote ethical practices and the following of human rights standards
