Bill S-211 at a glance
The reporting obligation, deadline, and report content in plain language.

Bill S-211, the Fighting Against Forced Labour and Child Labour in Supply Chains Act, came into force on January 1, 2024. It requires certain government institutions and private-sector entities to report annually on measures taken to prevent and reduce forced labour or child labour risk in their supply chains.

Private-sector reports are due by May 31 each year, must be approved by the governing body, and must include an attestation signed by one or more members of that governing body.
