The Liberal inaction on a budget pledge to strengthen the forced labour import ban is 'deplorable,' according to members of a House committee. In the 2023 budget, the government promised to introduce legislation by 2024 to “eradicate forced labour from Canadian supply chains to strengthen the import ban on goods produced using forced labour.” The 2024 budget stated that the government “reaffirms” that commitment, giving itself by the end of the year to introduce a bill.
Work on implementing existing laws, say Bill S-211 sponsors The budget promise to introduce a stronger forced labour ban was built on the idea of adding teeth to reporting obligations that were created when Bill S-211 became law in 2023. The Senate and House sponsors of that bill—Independent Senator Julie Miville-Dechêne and Liberal MP John McKay —say the focus should be on the implementation of existing laws.
