Jessica Horwitz and Sabrina A. Bandali spoke on a panel moderated by Stephen Bowman, entitled Emerging Regulation: What Companies Doing Business in/with China Should Know about Forced Labour in Supply Chains. This event was co-hosted by Bennett Jones and the Canada China Business Council.
The discussion focused on the May 2023 approval of Bill S-211—a supply chain transparency law aimed at preventing and reducing the risk of forced labour and child labour—and what these developments mean for businesses, the enforcement landscape and practical tips to facilitate compliance.
