Seven Deadly Secrets: What Export Development Canada does not want you to know: Canadian Companies May Be Wreaking Havoc with Taxpayers' Support
Friday, January 10, 2003

A report by the NGO Working Group on the EDC (of which MiningWatch is a member) reveals that a Crown Corporation, Export Development Canada, may be helping to finance a number of projects under development by Canadian companies without the necessary environmental and social due diligence. EDC continues to hide the environmental and social risks of its investments from the public, despite a report from the Auditor-General calling for disclosure and transparency.

TOXICanada: 13 Good Reasons to Establish A Clean Canada Fund
Sunday, July 1, 2001

[Report by MiningWatch Canada and the Sierra Club of Canada] Unlike most developed countries, Canada has no national program to deal with contaminated sites. Abandoned mines and tailings ponds create toxic nightmares, contaminating rivers, lakes and surrounding lands.  Local communities are left to deal with the toxic legacy, or, frequently, to cope and live with the contamination and its impacts on their health and the health of their children. Recent increases in imports of hazardous waste from our trading partners, paired with Canada's inability to deal with existing waste properly increase the urgency for developing an effective national program to deal with the problem.

Review of the Export Development Act - Presentation to the Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Trade
Tuesday, November 16, 1999

The Export Development Corporation has been brought forcefully to our attention by communities and non-governmental organizations that have to deal with the impact of Canadian mining development abroad. They want to know what role Canadian institutions play in perpetuating the problems they face, and what — if anything — Canadian citizens are doing to support them.
