Canada's proposed An Act to enact Fighting Against Forced Labour and Child Labour in Supply Chains Act and to Amend the Tariff Act ("Bill S-211"), which would require ESG reporting on forced labour and child labour in supply chains, has moved even closer to becoming law.
What is the status of Bill S-211
