📢 Canada must strengthen corporate accountability, NOT eliminate it!

The Americas Policy Group (APG) strongly condemns the Carney government's decision to eliminate the Canadian Ombudsperson for Responsible Enterprise (CORE).

Communities affected by the overseas operations of Canadian companies deserve more accountability, not less. Rather than abolishing CORE, the government should have strengthened its independence and investigative powers so it could effectively address allegations of human rights abuses and environmental harm. This decision leaves workers, Indigenous Peoples, and communities with fewer avenues to seek justice and undermines Canada's commitment to responsible business conduct.

✊ Human rights matter!
🌎 Corporate accountability matters!
🇨🇦 Canada must do better!
