Recommendation 9:
Use near-term investments to support a long-term clean growth transition. Governments can play a key role in overcoming barriers to private investment, particularly at a time when economies are struggling and capital is limited.

Recommendation 10:
Undertaking strategic clean growth assessments. Several governments in Canada require policy proposals to include a strategic environmental assessment. The federal government has also developed a climate lens for major public investments in infrastructure. It is worth exploring an expansion of these tools to explicitly incorporate a broader set of criteria linked to clean growth objectives. For example, while an infrastructure project would naturally consider general economic objectives, it might not consider low-carbon growth objectives. A low-carbon growth lens could lead to a greater emphasis on “enabling” infrastructure investments that support low-carbon technology development and adoption.

To be successful, a National Action Plan must be accompanied by adequate sustained funding to meet its goals as well as means to ensure accountability to Parliament and to the Indigenous women and their families who the plan would serve. Critically, such a plan should be developed in collaboration with Indigenous women’s organizations to ensure their full and effective participation in defining needs and solutions.

Recommendation 3:
The trafficking provisions found in the Criminal Code and the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act should be maintained as laws of general application and applied in all situations of labour exploitation. Sex work (the consensual exchange of sexual services for money) is not trafficking, and trafficking laws should not be used as a reason to investigate sex workers and sex work businesses unless there is compelling evidence of debt bondage, violence, deprivation of liberty, or similar exploitation.
