Under the Act, medium and large Canadian businesses and government institutions are now obligated to publish an annual report detailing the steps taken to prevent and reduce the risk that forced labour or child labour is used at any step in their production and importation processes.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This requires them to publicly disclose their structure, activities, and supply chains, to assess the risk of forced labour or child labour being used, and to detail their policies and due diligence processes to prevent and remediate any forced labour or child labour being used.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, the Act provides for an inspection regime, empowering the government to investigate, issue orders and levy fines against any entity that fails to comply or makes a false statement. In summary, the goal of the Act is to help align Canadian businesses with the imperatives of social and environmental sustainability.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ps2id-block-target\" id=\"TimeLine\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><strong>HISTORY OF THE BILL<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n        \n            <!-- Timeline Meta Data -->\n                    \n            <!-- Start Parent Container -->\n            <div id=\"btimeline-1351\">\n                <div class=\"timeline bp_titleline\" data-timeline='{&quot;timeline_type&quot;:&quot;vertical&quot;,&quot;date_location&quot;:&quot;right&quot;,&quot;item_datas&quot;:[{&quot;date_label&quot;:&quot;2015&quot;,&quot;item_details&quot;:&quot;&lt;strong&gt;March 26: &lt;\\\/strong&gt;UK adopts Modern Slavery Act.&quot;},{&quot;date_label&quot;:&quot;2017&quot;,&quot;item_details&quot;:&quot;&lt;strong&gt;March 27&lt;\\\/strong&gt;: France adopts human rights due diligence law.&quot;},{&quot;date_label&quot;:&quot;2018&quot;,&quot;item_details&quot;:&quot;&lt;b&gt;October 15:\\u00a0&lt;\\\/b&gt;Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Development presents\\u00a0&lt;a href=\\&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.ourcommons.ca\\\/DocumentViewer\\\/en\\\/42-1\\\/FAAE\\\/report-19\\\/page-5\\&quot;&gt;report&lt;\\\/a&gt;: \\u201cA call to action: ending the use of all forms of child labour in supply chains.\\u201d\\r\\n\\r\\n&lt;hr \\\/&gt;\\r\\n\\r\\n&lt;strong&gt;December 13: &lt;\\\/strong&gt;MP John McKay\\u00a0&lt;a href=\\&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.ourcommons.ca\\\/DocumentViewer\\\/en\\\/42-1\\\/house\\\/sitting-371\\\/hansard#Int-10446700\\&quot; target=\\&quot;_blank\\&quot; rel=\\&quot;noopener\\&quot; data-saferedirecturl=\\&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.google.com\\\/url?q=https:\\\/\\\/www.ourcommons.ca\\\/DocumentViewer\\\/en\\\/42-1\\\/house\\\/sitting-371\\\/hansard%23Int-10446700&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1715363268334000&amp;usg=AOvVaw23gqL9QrkXgFjbb6gmPBWf\\&quot;&gt;introduces&lt;\\\/a&gt; Bill C-423 (Bill dropped from the Order Paper on September 11, 2019 when Parliament was dissolved before the 2019 election).&quot;},{&quot;date_label&quot;:&quot;2019&quot;,&quot;item_details&quot;:&quot;&lt;b&gt;February 8:\\u00a0&lt;\\\/b&gt;Canadian government issues\\u00a0&lt;a href=\\&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.ourcommons.ca\\\/DocumentViewer\\\/en\\\/42-1\\\/FAAE\\\/report-19\\\/response-8512-421-456\\&quot;&gt;response&lt;\\\/a&gt;\\u00a0to Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International; Development report.
