On March 20, 2024, Public Safety Canada (“PSC”) released updated guidance (“Guidance”) on the application of the Fighting Against Forced Labour and Child Labour in Supply Chains Act (the “FCLA”).

While PSC’s update is aimed to provide clarity, it left many ambiguities, particularly regarding the definitions of “consolidated financial statements”, “asset” and “control”.  These terms play a critical role in determining whether a foreign entity may fall within the reporting requirements of the FCLA.
