The Canadian Network on Corporate Accountability submitted written comments to the Standing Committee on Finance and the Department of Finance regarding the upcoming 2025 federal budget.

The government should do so by effectively resourcing, and empowering the Canadian Ombudsperson for Responsible Enterprise to independently investigate abuses by Canadian companies, and by tabling mandatory human rights and environmental due diligence legislation.
