ILA Canada and the Human Rights Research and Education Centre of the University of Ottawa (HRREC) are pleased to present this timely webinar on human rights compliance issues for corporations involved in international trade, focusing on child and forced labour in global supply chains.   

 

Bill S-211, An Act to enact the Fighting Against Forced Labour and Child Labour in Supply Chains Act and to amend the Customs Tariff, came into force January 1 2024 creating new prohibitions and reporting obligations applicable to Canadian businesses engaged in international trade and investment.  

A diverse expert group of legal practitioners, regulators, and academic commentators will explain the new requirements, and consider how they fit into evolving corporate governance, risk management and human rights due diligence practices in transnational business:
