Canada lacks measures to prevent public pension funds from investing in companies in the People’s Republic of Chinese (PRC) allegedly involved in human rights violations, stated a recent report from a House of Commons committee that is calling for the implementation of protective measures.
“There are currently no measures which prevent those pension funds from investing in companies in the PRC responsible for, or complicit in, human rights violations,” the Special Committee on the Canada–People’s Republic of China Relationship (CACN) stated in its Dec. 13 report.
