Research has shown there is a direct correlation between places where there is a rich supply of minerals, a weak and corrupt government, and unconscionable violence against women, social disruption, and coersion toward child and slave labour. These rare minerals, mined in this culture of on-going violence, are what we are using to make our phones, tablets, and computers work. Canadian Companies are often implicated in this violence. We need higher standards for company behaviour in other countries. Bill C-486 provides a framework for setting these higher standards.
