	Today I had the privilege of repping my fav organization @IHRP_UofT before @SCC_eng. This program is so close to my heart and has always given me a way to fight for the world I want to see. Wouldn't be possible without the support of my director @SamerMuscati twitter.com/SamerMuscati/s…

	The #Nevsun case at the #SCC this week is shining a spotlight on Canadian corporate practices abroad. It's also reminding us that the #ombuds the govt announced to deal with abuses has yet to materialize. @JustinTrudeau @gmbutts @telfordk @davidlametti thestar.com/business/opini…

	Stood behind the Minster for this announcement one year ago today. Didn't think first anniversary would come & no Omudsperson in place. Time to appoint the CORE, @justintrudeau, with full powers for independent & effective investigations. @AICanadaBHR @AmnestyNow @open4justice twitter.com/FP_Champagne/s…

	A year ago today Canada announced it will create an #ombuds office to investigate claims of harm caused by Canadian companies abroad. Can we expect this office to open anytime soon? #cdnpoli #Open4Justice @jimcarr_wpg @curryb @mblanchfield @PJMazereeuw @dougquan @ianbickis pic.twitter.com/aSSLo7BtOX

	En tant qu'ancienne doyenne de @uocommonlaw et de @DrCiviluOttawa, je crains que la réduction de 10 % des frais de scolarité soit suivie d'une réduction des subventions accordées par le #RAFEO. Tous et toutes ont droit à l’éducation post-secondaire #onpoli
