The Daily Star reported last year that Canada had threatened Bangladesh with serious consequences over alleged wrong doings against a Canadian company during the tender evaluation for a power plant in Fenchuganj. This pressure eventually led to the cancellation of the tender.

Now that Niko, another Canadian company, is involved in less than reputable practices in Bangladesh trampling the rights of many, I wonder what the stand of the Canadian government is. Since it didn't hesitate to get involved at the highest level of the Bangladesh government to protect the interests of a Canadian company, shouldn't it be now its responsibility to get involved in settling the misdeeds of Niko?
