I think that will be the key: moving beyond the strategies Global Affairs Canada has had for a number of years and actually bringing about legislation. Whether it comes through a private member's bill or a government bill, it's important to cover all human rights n all sectors of the economy and to build in that redress for people whose human rights have been harmed.
If I had my way, I would prefer a government bill. I think the government has made a commitment to bring in a bill to protect people's human rights when Canadian companies operate abroad. I would like to see them follow through on that.
I'm pleased that Mr. Julian took the initiative to table legislation that could be a model picked up and implemented by the government. I think his bill has everything we need to bring about a comprehensive due diligence framework.
