Bill Detail
An Act to amend the Textile Labelling Act and the Consumer Packaging and Labelling Act
This enactment amends the Textile Labelling Act to provide that Canadian flags that are at least 20 centimetres in width and 30 centimetres in length and that are sold, imported into Canada or advertised must have applied to them a label indicating their country of origin. It also amends the Consumer Packaging and Labelling Act to provide that the packaging of such flags must also contain a label indicating the flags’ country of origin.
This bill, if passed, would require Canadian flags that are at least 20cm by 30cm to be labelled with their country of origin. This applies to flags being sold, imported, or advertised in Canada. The label must be on the flag itself and also on its packaging.
This change would affect manufacturers, importers, and retailers of Canadian flags that meet the size requirement. Consumers buying these flags would also benefit from clearer information about where the flag was made.
