The Unseen Victims of the CORE's Closure: A Pattern of Disregard for Corporate Accountability The sudden shutdown of Canada's Corporate Watchdog, the Canadian Ombudsperson for Responsible Enterprise (CORE), has left a trail of unanswered questions and unresolved complaints.
Prime Minister Mark Carney's announcement caught many off guard, including those who had been working with the office to address human rights abuses committed by Canadian companies operating abroad.
Despite claims that the decision to discontinue the office was made "months ago," the CORE continued to accept complaints right up until its dissolution.
