Canadian industries are pushing back against the country's planned January launch of the Modern Slavery Act, intended to fight forced labour and child labour in supply chains. Mining and apparel trade groups say the government has failed to spell out the details of the law's requirements.

John McKay, the Liberal member of parliament who moved the bill, ... said there was a lack of reporting and procedural guidelines, which he said were signs that the government was not prepared to meet the January launch date. But he expects most Canadian companies affected by the law to abide by the new rules.

It sounds like industry groups are ok with the bill, but the government is dropping the ball on explaining how it will be implemented.
