Promoting political stability in poor countries is likely to help them grow, as political instability can discourage foreign investment and create barriers to economic growth. Preventing Canadian corporations from investing in poor countries could be counterproductive, as foreign investment can bring in much-needed capital and expertise. Similarly, reducing poor countries' reliance on market forces in their economies could limit their potential for growth. While it is important to combat child labour, refusing to import goods from poor countries that use it could hurt the very workers it is intended to protect by depriving them of employment opportunities.
