If two of three size thresholds apply, Bill S-211 makes you legally accountable for forced and child labour anywhere in your supply chain, down to suppliers you have never met. The report is due May 31, signed by your board, with a $250,000 penalty behind it — and the 2026 clarifications tightened the reporting thresholds, definitions, and mandatory disclosures. XFACTOR VERIFIED runs the supplier assessment that makes your report defensible, supplier by supplier.
Answer a few quick questions. Most mid-market companies are in scope, including service and staffing firms that assume they are not. This is a guide, not legal advice, so confirm with your CFO or counsel before you act on it.
Self-attestation is not evidence. The Act expects documented due diligence on the part of the chain you cannot see, and that is exactly where the liability hides.
A blank answer is a red flag. An undocumented policy is, legally, no policy at all. The due diligence the Act demands gets run for you, supplier by supplier, turning claims into evidence you can file.
Non-compliance is not a fine you can quietly pay.
The Act treats failing to file, failing to publish, and filing something false or misleading as offences. The consequences do not distinguish an honest mistake from willful neglect.
Bill S-211 makes you, personally, responsible for proving your supply chain is free of forced and child labour. Here is what that exposes, and exactly how we handle each one.
The policies usually exist. They are just undocumented, and undocumented means, legally, it did not happen. This is where first-time filers actually fail, measured across real filing engagements.
Behind every line of this report are people. The Act was written for them.
What if your whole S-211 report was built from real supplier evidence, without spending a fortune, without the manual work, and without chasing a single supplier yourself?

10 questions across two themes: Bill S-211 and your obligations, and the 15-day free trial. Straight answers, no hedging.
Bill S-211 makes you, the reporting entity, responsible for forced and child labour across your whole supply chain, not just your own operations. You must carry out documented due diligence on your suppliers: send them a real assessment, demand the supporting documents back, identify and remediate risk, and disclose all seven mandatory categories in an annual report your board signs by May 31. That supplier-by-supplier due diligence is the work XFACTOR VERIFIED runs for you. We are not a report-filing service, we are the platform that runs the supplier assessment the Act holds you responsible for.
You are in scope if you have a connection to Canada and either are listed on a Canadian stock exchange, or meet at least two of three size thresholds in either of your last two financial years: CAD $40M annual revenue, CAD $20M total assets, or 250 average employees. You also have to produce, sell, distribute or import goods, or control a company that does. The 90-second check at the top of this page walks you through it. One threshold is not enough: a company with $80M revenue but only 80 employees and $10M assets does not qualify. Confirm the numbers with your CFO before you act on them.
The report has seven mandatory categories, and four trip most first-time filers because the policies exist but are undocumented. The platform builds each category from real supplier evidence: the 18-question due-diligence assessment, the documents back, audit certificates, corrective-action records, and sub-tier mapping for your high-risk lines. We write what is true and what is documented, because vague language reads as evasion under audit. The founder has run supply-chain and forced-labour due diligence by hand for 30 years.
That is the signal. A supplier who refuses a documented assessment is a high-risk gap, and the Act expects you to identify and act on exactly that. The platform flags non-responders, documents the outreach, and surfaces them in your report. Documented refusal and your response plan is itself evidence that you identified the risk. Refusing to be assessed is a finding in itself, not a blank you leave in the report.
Yes. Your first 8 suppliers are completely free for 15 days. No credit card, no sales call, no contract. Your suppliers get assessed with the same due diligence Bill S-211 demands. If you do not see a gap worth more than the ten minutes it takes to start, you have lost nothing. Once you see what surfaces in 15 days, the decision on the rest of your suppliers is easy.
Because showing beats telling. In 15 days you watch real gaps surface in 8 of your own supply chain, at no cost and no risk. If what you find is worth more than the ten minutes it takes to start, the decision on the rest is yours. No demo, no pitch, no pressure.
No card, no contract, no commitment. You drag your supplier list in, Morpheus maps it, and the assessments run. The 15-day trial clock starts the moment your first supplier receives their invite. If you decide to assess the rest of your suppliers after the trial, that is when pricing comes in, and it is published on the site. No sales call required.
Every supplier in the 15-day trial goes through the full intake: email verification, address validation, and watchlist screening against the US Consolidated Screening List (OFAC, BIS, DDTC). Then each supplier receives the cinematic scenario assessment, narrated by Morpheus, behaviourally scored. You get findings, gap analysis, and a Corrective Action Plan for every gap found. The only thing gated behind a paid plan is assessing more than 8 suppliers and accessing the full Master Risk Assessment Report for your entire supply chain.
For you, setup is minutes. You upload your supplier list and Morpheus handles the intake: email verification, address check, watchlist screening, and tier assignment. Suppliers typically complete their scenario assessment in 20 to 40 minutes. The trial window is 15 days, and most teams see findings well before the midpoint. You do not reformat a spreadsheet and you do not chase anything manually.
No. The platform handles outreach automatically. Once you upload your list, Morpheus sends each supplier their assessment invitation, follows up with a Day 3 nudge and a Day 7 nudge if they have not responded, and tracks completion status in your dashboard in real time. You see who has finished, who is in progress, and who has not opened it yet, without sending a single email yourself.
If we don't surface a gap worth more than the ten minutes it takes to start, you've lost nothing.
