A veteran Liberal backbencher took a Liberal cabinet minister to task Tuesday for failing to give real teeth to a new watchdog who is supposed to investigate human rights abuses by Canadian companies operating abroad.

But he believes the recently created position of Canadian Ombudsperson for Responsible Enterprise falls short of what's needed because the watchdog has not been given the power to compel company executives to testify or to produce documents.

While there have been some improvements in corporate social responsibility, McKay said some companies are "pretty bad actors" who aren't going to voluntarily change their ways or co-operate with the ombudsperson, Sheri Meyerhoffer. Meyerhoffer herself has testified at committee that she has the tools to do the job effectively, including the power to initiate investigations, Ng argued.
