Rather than expensive and prolonged litigation, Ms. Latimer said she would like to see some direction from the government to bring Canada in line with UN rules.

“CSC remains strongly committed to the successful implementation of this model,” the statement said, “and we welcome the ongoing contributions from our partners and oversight bodies.”
