Supply Chains
The Fighting Against Forced Labour and Child Labour in Supply Chains Act (the “Act“) came into effect on January 1, 2024.
The Act stipulates that any government institution producing, purchasing or distributing goods in Canada or elsewhere must, on or before May 31 of each year, submit a report in respect of the previous year.
This report details the steps taken by Telefilm Canada during its previous fiscal year to prevent and reduce the risk that forced labour or child labour is used at any step of the production of goods purchased by Telefilm. It addresses each of the requirements set out in subsections 6(1) and 6(2) of the Act.
