What is it about?

This article examines how Canadian companies, particularly in the extractive sector, are linked to serious human rights concerns abroad, while migrant workers at home face exploitative and precarious conditions under state-sanctioned labor programs. It assesses how legal frameworks—both domestic and international—are reinterpreted, circumvented, or selectively applied in ways that often fail to deliver justice. The study reviews recent legal reforms and highlights their shortcomings, questioning whether current measures truly protect vulnerable workers or merely offer symbolic compliance.
