Mandate of the Canadian Ombudsperson for Responsible Enterprise / Sven Spengemann, chair ; Peter Fonseca, chair.: XC11-1/1-432-8E-PDF

"In January 2018, the Government of Canada announced the creation of a Canadian Ombudsperson for Responsible Enterprise (CORE), which, among other things, was mandated to investigate human rights abuses by Canadian companies operating abroad in the oil and gas, mining and garment sectors. The announcement was welcomed by civil society groups and academics who had been reporting the involvement of Canadian companies in human rights abuses abroad for decades. Three years later, however, the office is still in its infancy, with some of the organizations and individuals that initially supported its creation deeply worried that it is not equipped to fulfil its mandate"--Summary, page [1].
