The evidence in other jurisdictions where this kind of modern slavery reporting law has been brought forward is that it hasn't had an impact in changing corporate behaviour. It hasn't had an impact in helping to root out or deal with forced labour abuses. So it doesn't help solve the problem, and at the same time it has also quashed momentum towards more effective laws.
If you look at the situation in the United Kingdom or in Australia, their civil society space to move forward other laws closed. The time for Parliament to speak about those issues closed. So by making it look like the government is doing something, because there's a law on the table, the momentum towards more effective legislation gets pushed back.
I think there's a parallel that we can put in place with the situation in Canada. It's almost five years since the Government of Canada announced the creation of an ombudsperson's office to independently investigate, and we're still waiting for that to happen.
