Canadian Minister of Foreign Affairs Anita Anand provided information on the government's efforts to combat forced labor and protect supply chains.

Explaining the purpose and scope of the consultation process, Anand said, “Forced labor has no place in Canada's supply chains. To support the timely implementation of Bill C-35, we are launching public consultations to determine how to identify imports linked to forced labor and to explore additional due diligence expectations for Canadian businesses operating abroad.”

Calling on all stakeholders to participate, Minister Anand said, “Canadians, businesses, labor organizations, and civil society organizations are invited to share their views by August 21. By working together, we can protect workers, uphold human rights, and ensure a level playing field for businesses.”
