The federal government has tabled legislation to strengthen Canada’s legal framework to prevent goods made with forced labour from entering the Canadian market.

The bill comes after the U.S. administration on June 2 threatened to impose additional tariffs on 60 countries, including Canada, for allegedly failing to institute forced labour restrictions.
