I will confine my remarks to business and human rights, which is a subset of human rights.
I think leadership is about what a country or a company is doing, not what they are saying. In the field of business and human rights, there are significant developments taking place in Europe, where mandatory human rights due diligence legislation is being enacted or access to remedies is being improved. I think Canada is lagging behind on those two elements, in my view, at this point in time, because Canada has not yet enacted anything. I see there is some discussion going on about mandatory human rights due diligence legislation, and the CORE, in my view, is a good step. However, without any powers, the CORE will not be a viable institution to provide access to remedies in a non-judicial setting. There is no point in creating another NCP. When we visited Canada in 2017, we recommended that the CSR counsellor be replaced with something more robust.
