Carney agrees with Trump’s crackdown on forced labour supply chains
Carney said that he supports the “overall objective” of combating forced labour with new legislation to bolster the initiative coming in the next several weeks.
Ottawa plans to introduce legislation targeting forced-labour supply chains after the Trump administration announced plans to impose additional tariffs on countries tied to the practice.
“Canada has a very strong legislative regime against forced labour in supply chains,” Prime Minister Mark Carney told reporters in Ottawa on Wednesday. “We don’t want any element of forced labour coming in goods and services, and we want to use our influence to eliminate this practice of forced labour and child labour.”
