Mr. Speaker, today I rise to present a petition on behalf of 434 signatories from across Canada calling for new federal legislation that would require Canadian companies to prevent adverse human rights impacts and environmental damage throughout their global operations and supply chains. This petition also calls for Canadian companies to carefully assess how they may be contributing to human rights abuses and for the establishment of a legal right for people who have been harmed to seek justice in Canadian courts.
In the House of Commons on March 29th, 2023. See this statement in context.
