“Not in favour of sweatshops”: US claims Canada not enforcing prohibition on forced labour

At the same time U.S. President Donald Trump’s 10 per cent global tariffs expired overnight, a new forced labour tariff came into effect, sparking global backlash.

The Canadian government has rejected Greer’s claim that it’s not enforcing its own prohibition on forced labour.
