Excerpt: Leo-Paul Lauzon is an author, researcher, accountant, professor, and social activist in the Canadian province of Quebec. He is best known for his work in seeking corporate social accountability. Lauzon was raised in a low-income household in Montreal. His father abandoned the family in the late 1950s, when Lauzon was twelve, and he was forced to work as a delivery boy for a pharmaceutical company to support his mother and two sisters.
