In our previous article, we highlighted developments in Canada’s modern slavery framework. Here, we update developments relating to modern slavery, including the impending legislation Bill S-211, An Act to enact the Fighting Against Forced Labour and Child Labour in Supply Chains Act and to amend the Customs Tariff. Bill S-211 has already passed through the Senate, and on June 1, 2022, it passed its second reading at the House of Commons. It is currently in the committee stage at the Foreign Affairs and International Development committee. While Bill S-211 has not been enacted yet, it will come into force on January 1 of the year following the year in which it receives Royal Assent, which potentially may be this year, 2022.
