It's not only NGOs like Oxfam that are watching these court cases closely to see what their outcomes are. I know that many industry players are watching and that governments are watching to understand, if companies can be held legally liable for not respecting human rights internationally, what the consequences will be for their operations, for their investors and for the jurisdictions in which they're operating. It's yet to be seen what the outcomes will be.
The ombudsperson offers a non-judicial path to have allegations investigated and to have cases heard. I don't think we want to close off the option of seeking justice in the Canadian justice system, but not everybody necessarily has the resources to bring a case forward to the Canadian justice system. The ombudsperson would provide a parallel path that would lead to different outcomes.
I am curious to see what the court cases reveal—the ones around Eritrea and around Guatemala. They're ground-breaking, and it's hard to tell exactly what the consequences will be.
