We need legislation that holds companies accountable
Approximately 70% of all child labour takes place in the agricultural sector. This means there is a significant risk that girls and boys as young as five years old could be harvesting and producing many of the items on your grocery shelves. That is not right, just or the Canadian way.
Right now, it's nearly impossible for Canadians to be fully informed consumers. We don't know what-if anything- the companies and brands we buy from are doing because there is no legal requirement from them to ensure their supply chains are ethical.
Sign the petition if you believe:
"The Government of Canada should commit to supply chain legislation in Canada that requires companies to report and take action on human rights concerns in their supply chains. No child should be exploited in the making of our products."
