Your letter can be directed toward either (i) the Canadian government or (ii) a major chocolate manufacturer. The letter should include details and facts that either encourage the chocolate manufacturers to honour their agreement to the Harkin-Engel Protocol or encourage the Canadian government to take a stronger stand against child labour.

The letter should be roughly a page in length and be addressed appropriately (i.e. to the CEO of the company, or the Federal cabinet minister responsible).
