As outlined in our prior bulletins on this topic, Canada’s supply chains legislation, the Fighting Against Forced Labour and Child Labour in Supply Chains Act (Act), requires reporting entities to complete and submit to the federal government a mandatory online questionnaire and report about measures taken to prevent and reduce the risk of forced and child labour in their supply chains during their previous fiscal year. The Act came into force on January 1, 2024. Reports are due annually by May 31 (or earlier for certain federally incorporated entities that provide annual financial statements to shareholders before May 31 of each year). The next reporting cycle opens January 1, 2026.
