Canada’s Export Development Act is under review. In this submission to the government, Above Ground and other civil society groups call for legal reforms to bolster the accountability and transparency of Export Development Canada (EDC). EDC’s policies state that it screens and monitors the business it supports for associated social, environmental and business ethics risks. Yet over the years we have identified multiple companies that receive support from EDC despite credible or proven allegations involving environmental damage, corruption and human rights violations... The Export Development Act is silent on human rights and corruption, and does not provide meaningful oversight relating to the environment. Nor does it subject the agency to effective accountability measures in relation to these matters... [W]e urge Parliament to adopt legislative reforms that include prohibiting EDC from supporting firms involved in wrongdoing, subjecting it to judicial oversight and expanding the Auditor General’s mandate regarding EDC.
