Canada's New Forced Labour Reporting Law

ACC British Columbia and Bennett Jones LLP invite you to join us for an in-person discussion on supply chain transparency and what the public reporting requirements in Canada's new Forced Labour Reporting Law mean for businesses. 

The new law creates a compliance imperative by introducing a mandatory mechanism that will facilitate public and stakeholder scrutiny of the forced labour track records of Canadian government institutions and many private sector businesses. 

With the first reports due in May 2024, companies need to act now to enhance their due diligence and proactively identify and mitigate the risk of forced labour or child labour in their supply chains.

 Agenda:

12:00 - 12:30 pm - Lunch and networking (in-person)

12:30 pm - 2:00 pm - Panel Presentation (in-person and via webcast)

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) to ban almost all post-employment non-compete agreements and the FTC is expected to vote on a final rule in 2024. The May 30, 2023 National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) Guidance opines that most non-competes for non-supervisors violate federal law. Numerous states have proposed or are proposing legislation to ban non-competes, such as the Minnesota law going into effect on July 1, 2023. These laws also interplay with the Defend Trade Secrets Act, unfair competition laws as well as antitrust concerns. This CLE will explain the competing business, employee, and governmental interests related to non-competes with a focus on how businesses should best prepare for the current and upcoming changes. We will discuss best practices that companies should follow now regarding restrictive covenants, including non-competes and non-solicitation agreements.

Presented by Carrie Amezcua, Counsel, and Jaime Tuite, Shareholder, at Buchanan, Ingersoll and Rooney and Michael Robic, Vice President, Deputy General Counsel at Highmark Health.
