OTTAWA — Canadian border officials have intercepted more than 50 shipments of materials they suspected were made with forced labour, but most were ultimately let into the country and U.S. legislators say Canada needs to do more.

A group of U.S. legislators has called on Canada, the U.S. and Mexico to act to ensure goods made with forced labour, especially by Uyghurs in China’s Xinjiang region, don’t end up on North American shelves.
