Canada's government has been purchasing PPE from a company that uses forced slave labour, and the Canadian government has known this for over one year. Yet they continued to do business with them. It has only come out after the United States publicly declared this problem, forcing Canada to cancel the contract since it has reached the "public eye".

Based on the company's initial response, Canada maintained its contracts with Supermax at first, but following the American move it sought further assurances that it wasn't using forced labour.
Concealing these facts and continuing to do business, as Canada did, might be illegal under Canada's own laws.
