They may be making record profits, but they rightly received worldwide condemnation, particularly for the tactic of targeting migrant families where children are separated from their families and caged. This is a human rights abuse, not an opportunity to make bank.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5582797\" data-originallang=\"en\">Could the <a data-HoCid=\"214320\" href=\"/politicians/bill-morneau/\" title=\"Bill Morneau\">finance minister</a> explain what it is about privatized American prison camps that he thinks represents any kind of ethical investment standard?</p>",

L'Office fait peut-\u00eatre des profits records, mais ses d\u00e9cisions soul\u00e8vent \u00e0 \u00e0 juste titre de l'indignation dans le monde entier. On n'a qu'\u00e0 penser \u00e0 la tactique qui consiste \u00e0 enlever leurs enfants aux familles de migrants et \u00e0 les mettre dans des cages.
