Ahead of a visit this week of senior Mexican officials, Labour Minister Seamus O\u0027Regan was in Mexico this month taking stock of the country\u0027s growing movement to unionize.

The Canadian Labour Congress and unions such as Unifor and the United Steelworkers have been helping their Mexican counterparts negotiate language in these agreements, and advised Mexico on its new labour tribunals. Charities like World Vision have also helped monitor the country’s efforts to eradicate forced labour from Mexico’s supply chains.

“All levels of government are under incredible stress and strain; expectations are high,” he said of Mexico. “They have a long way to go but they’re making tremendous progress.” In late May, Trade Minister Mary Ng noted in a press release that Canada has “continued concerns” with the mining reform, which would boost corporate requirements for local compensation and transparency while aiming to limit speculation in the sector.

In a statement, the Mexican Embassy in Canada said changes in the mining sector seek to “reduce the impact on the environment, ensure the conservation of water for human consumption, and to protect local and Indigenous communities — issues that are part of the shared priorities between Mexico and Canada.”
