In relation to transparency and supply chains legislation, the ETI was very active in the U.K. Modern Slavery Act in calling for section 54. We think it has been an important driver of change, but we do note significant gaps in its implementation and compliance. We would call on the Canadian government to seriously consider the extent to which the right resources are being put in place to monitor compliance and the effectiveness of the legislation.
We also think there is a risk for the Canadian government in focusing only on child labour as well as focusing on two sectors, because forced labour and child labour are widespread and move across sectors.
