Reminder – Upcoming Reporting Deadline
Public Safety Canada would like to remind all reporting entities and government institutions that the annual reporting deadline of May 31 is quickly approaching.
The reporting obligation applies to entities and government institutions that are subject to the Supply Chains Act. The annual report must cover measures taken during the previous financial year, in accordance with the Act.
Once the report is complete and meets the mandatory reporting, formatting and publication requirements specified in Public Safety Canada’s guidance, it must be submitted through the online questionnaire.
Alternatively, organizations may use the unique questionnaire link Public Safety Canada distributed earlier this year. If your organization is reporting for the first time and requires a questionnaire link, please email: ps.scai-lcae.sp@ps-sp.gc.ca.
Reports must be submitted by May 31, as required under the Act.
Reminder – Reporting Resources
Resources are available to support entities and government institutions in developing their annual report, in addition to the online guidance.
Entities may use the optional reporting template, International Reporting on Modern Slavery, Forced Labour and Child Labour, as a guide when preparing annual reports.
Government institutions may contact the Supply Chains Act Taskforce to obtain a copy of the optional reporting template specifically designed for government institutions which was developed by Public Safety Canada in collaboration with Public Services and Procurement Canada, and Shared Services Canada, at ps.scai-lcae.sp@ps-sp.gc.ca.
Organizations are encouraged to consult the online guidance for information on reporting requirements and processes, and to contact Public Safety Canada if they have questions.
