Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  We looked at disclosure by publicly traded companies in our report and I think around 12% of incidents that resulted in deaths were reported, and around 24% of incidents that resulted in injuries were publicly reported. It appears that under-reporting is an issue and there could be changes in securities regulations in order to encourage more reporting on human rights abuse at mining projects overseas.

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  Thank you. Thank you for inviting Shin Imai and me to speak today. It's an honour to be here. We're both board members of the Justice and Corporate Accountability Project, or JCAP, which is a volunteer-driven legal clinic based at Osgoode Hall Law School in Toronto. Shin has been a law professor for over 30 years, and I'm currently an articling fellow, although I'm not speaking on behalf of my employer today.
