Jim Carr says it will take almost 2 more months to finalize ombudsperson's powers.

International Trade Minister Jim Carr speaks during a press conference in Winnipeg on Oct. 23, 2018.

That's because International Trade Minister Jim Carr says it will take almost two more months to finalize the powers of the new"Canadian ombudsperson for responsible enterprise." Carr said he wants independent legal advice on how best to give Meyerhoffer the power to make companies disclose documents and answer questions.Her appointment as the new ombudsperson is intended to be a substantive upgrade to the current"corporate responsibility counsellor."

Alex Neve, the head of Amnesty international Canada, welcomed Meyerhoffer's appointment but said it's disappointing the government still hasn't defined Meyerhoffer's powers some 15 months after announcing it was creating the position.
