Public consultations on Canada’s ban on import of goods produced by forced labour

Canada’s Minister of International Trade and Economic Development, Mary Ng, announced the launch of public consultations on potential new measures to strengthen the enforcement of Canada’s ban on the import of goods produced by forced labour, under the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) and in alignment with the United States and Mexico.

This consultation seeks to complement consultations that the Government undertook in October 2023 with regards to eradicating forced labour from Canada’s supply chains. Ottawa now seeks stakeholder views on how to strengthen the forced labour import ban under article 23.6 of the Canada-US-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA), to prevent violations of international labour and human rights and its impact on Canadian importers, exporters, industry, and the public.

This consultation will run from October 17, 2024 to November 15, 2024.
