Bennett Jones' Jessica Horwitz and HOC Global Solutions are hosting an informative session designed to shed light on the critical aspects of the Bill S-211, which looks to enact the Fighting Against Forced Labour and Child Labour in Supply Chains Act and to amend the Customs Tariff. This serves as a significant milestone in the fight against forced labour and child labour within Canadian supply chains.
Discussion highlights will include:
- definitions and examples of forced labour in the context of Canadian law;
- the enforcement mechanisms for Canada’s import ban on goods produced with forced labour;
- the essentials of the new reporting requirements [what, whom, when, how to report] for businesses under the Supply Chains Act;
- importance of accurate and comprehensive import/customs paperwork for compliance;
- best practices for ensuring transparency in supply chains, including verification of suppliers and product origins; and
- incorporating forced labour statements in purchase orders to ensure ethical procurement.
Join us for an essential webinar tailored for business owners, supply chain managers, compliance officers and legal professionals engaged in international trade with Canada. This insightful session provides a unique opportunity to delve into the legal responsibilities surrounding forced and child labor within supply chains. Elevate your company’s supply chain integrity while actively championing the global effort against these reprehensible practices.
