Development & Peace is our Catholic social justice group.
This year we are spearheading a campaign called A Voice for Justice.
Our partners in the global south call upon us to urge our Canadian Government to appoint an Ombudsman who will help monitor our Canadian Mining Companies – many of whom exploit regions leaving erosion, toxic water, deforestation and people who are displaced from their homes.
The Ombudsman would insist the responsible Canadian mining companies would clean up their sites and leave them environmentally clean.
