The federal government has announced a review of the watchdog it created in 2019 to review the conduct of Canadian companies operating abroad. Starting this year, over a six-month period, the government said it will assess the Canadian Ombudsperson for Responsible Enterprise’s “effectiveness and progress to date.”
In an article on the review, a government spokesperson indicated that the review would take account of the various measures to address modern slavery and supply-chain legislation recently adopted by the federal government. The Canadian Apparel Federation welcomes this review, and will participate fully.
