In 2024, the Fighting Against Forced Labour and Child Labour in Supply Chains Act (the “FALC”) came into force, which imposed annual reporting obligations for certain entities. While the 2024 reports were due last year, this is a recurring obligation with significant penalties for non-compliance.
Recently, the Canadian government issued its Report to Parliament summarizing the submissions received for the 2024 reporting cycle. This Report serves as a reminder of the ongoing importance of timely compliance with the reporting obligations, with the next reporting deadline on May 31, 2025.
