Mr. Chair, I have two points of clarification.
First of all, I was suggesting that the CORE should not duplicate what the NCP does in Canada, which is mediation. There is not much purpose in giving the mediation power to CORE, because that function is already done by the national contact point in Canada.
My second point is that one of the mandates of the CORE is advising companies. If the CORE advises, let us say company X, to do A, B, C, and then the CORE receives a complaint against the same company, this may raise a potential conflict of interest. That advising should be differentiated from CORE providing generic guidance to businesses on how they should respect human rights. That is different. If they are advising specific companies to do A, B, C, that will definitely raise, in my view, a potential conflict of interest.
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
