The exposure of Canadian investment funds to human rights violations in the People's Republic of China / Ken Hardie, chair.: XC2-441/2-1-5E-PDF
"Many Canadians rely on public pension plans for income during retirement. Managed by some of Canada's leading institutional investors, these plans generally yield positive returns.

This report begins with a discussion of human rights abuses in the PRC and corporations reported to be either directly involved in or complicit with such abuses, as well as issues of transparency related to investigating PRC-based companies. It then focuses on public pensions and responsible investment practices, examining the issue of public pensions investing in PRC companies and reviewing the legislative framework governing public pensions. Finally, the report proposes strategies for preventing public funds from supporting abusive PRC companies"--Introduction, pages 5-6.
