The Canadian government has decided to close the Office of the Canadian Ombudsperson for Responsible Enterprise (OCRE), a move strongly condemned by the United Steelworkers union. The union argues that while OCRE lacked independence and power, abolishing it removes one of the few tools available to hold Canadian companies accountable for human and labor rights violations abroad. The union calls for a truly independent and empowered ombudsman to investigate abuses and enforce corporate accountability, warning that the closure signals Canada shirking its human rights responsibilities.
