En juin, le Premier ministre Carney a annoncé qu'il allait supprimer le bureau de l’ombudsman canadien de la responsabilité des entreprises (OCRE).
"Le Canada ne peut prétendre défendre les droits humains sur la scène internationale tout en affaiblissant les mécanismes qui permettent aux personnes touchées par les activités des entreprises canadiennes de faire valoir leurs droits." - Fernande Abanda, Inter Pares

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.
"Canada cannot claim to defend human rights on the international stage while simultaneously weakening the mechanisms that allow people affected by the activities of Canadian companies to assert their rights." - Fernande Abanda, Inter Pares

Today marks three years of war in Sudan. And for three years, Canada’s response has fallen short. interpares.ca/news/three-y...
Today marks three years of war in Sudan. And for three years, Canada’s response has fallen short. For three blood-soaked years, hunger, violence and fear have shaped everyday life in Sudan. Families have been torn apart. Communities destroyed. 

Access to clean water and food has collapsed in many areas. Health care, education, transportation, communications and banking systems have all been severely damaged or destroyed.  

The results are genocide, sexual and gender-based violence, famine and mass displacement.
