The Canadian government has decided to abolish the Office of the Ombudsperson for Responsible Enterprise (CORE), which was tasked with reviewing complaints about human rights and labor abuses linked to Canadian companies operating abroad. The United Steelworkers union condemned this move, arguing that while the CORE lacked independence and power, abolishing it removes one of the few mechanisms for corporate accountability. The union calls for the government to establish a stronger, independent office with real authority to investigate abuses and recommend remedies, warning that shutting down the CORE signals a retreat from Canada's human rights responsibilities.
