On 10 May, an article from ArentFox Schiff advised that Canada joins a number of major trading partners taking a stronger stance on forced labour after passing legislation: An Act to Enact Fighting Against Forced Labor and Child Labor in Supply Chains and to Amend Customs Tariff, on 3 May.  The legislation enters into force on 1 January 2024, and companies will be required to report their supply chain diligence efforts for the previous calendar year by 31 May 2024.
