En juin, le Premier ministre Carney a annoncé qu'il allait supprimer le bureau de l’ombudsman canadien de la responsabilité des entreprises (OCRE).

Il s’agit de la dernière mesure en date d’une série de nouvelles lois et politiques qui affaiblissent la protection des droits de la personne et de l’environnement au profit de puissantes multinationales. C’est inacceptable.

In June, PM Carney announced the government is eliminating the office of the Canadian Ombudsperson for Responsible Enterprise (CORE). This is the latest in several new laws and policies that roll back human rights and environmental protections to the benefit of multinational corporations.

2) Canada should appoint a special envoy for Sudan to strengthen and coordinate Canada’s response. This person would advise the government on foreign policy, humanitarian aid, development cooperation, diplomacy and immigration—so that Canada’s actions reflect the urgency and scale of the crisis.

There is so much more Canada can do, including: - Increase the number of refugees accepted from Sudan. - Simplify Canada’s family reunification process. - Provide more humanitarian funding to displaced people in Sudan and the region. Read more on our website: interpares.ca/news/three-y...

Canada can and must do more. Sudan faces the worst humanitarian disaster on the planet. Canada’s foreign policy response falls far short of what this moment demands. This gap is shameful. We AGAIN call on the Canadian government to take urgent action:

@interpares.ca

1) Canada must apply diplomatic pressure on countries that are helping sustain the war, especially the United Arab Emirates (U.A.E.). This is particularly urgent as the Canadian government moves toward a potential free trade agreement with the U.A.E.

It's time to push MPs to vote in favour of Bill C-233 and stem the flow of unrestricted and unregulated arms to Trump’s illegal war in Venezuela, ICE’s campaign of terror and Israel’s ongoing genocide. It’s time for our law to guarantee Canadian military exports are aligned with international law.

Canadian-made military components reach Israel/elsewhere through a loophole that allows Canadian-made parts to be shipped through the U.S. and on without oversight. A vote in Parliament on the No More Loopholes Bill C-233 is right around the corner. We have a rare opportunity to close that loophole.

“It raises really, really serious concerns that a [Canadian] company doing business with ICE is going to be enabling abuses, and is going to be conducting operations that facilitate those abuses continuing." - Aidan Gilchrist-Blackwood from our counterpart, @cnca-rcrce.bsky.social

thestar.comMore than a dozen Canadian companies – including Thomson Reuters – have done business with ICE, Star analysis revealsSuch contracts have become controversial as concerns mount that products or services sold to ICE could be used by the agency in activities that may violate human rights.
