That's a very good question, and it's a tough question to answer.
I'll start by reflecting on the comments that our chairman, Mr. Weston, made at our annual general meeting a couple of weeks ago, in which he said very clearly that he was troubled by the fact that we participate in a culture—or wondered what our contribution is to a culture—that would force people back into a building that had been declared so unsafe. It is very unclear to us why that happened, other than that there was a lack of enforcement of the local laws.
I would suggest that this is a common theme that you'll hear from me today. I'm not by any means trying to place any undue responsibility on local authorities, because we certainly recognize our responsibility in this instance and in general terms. But I believe there is a fundamental lack of infrastructure in Bangladesh that makes very difficult the enforcement of both existing labour laws that are in place today....
I can't say I'm an expert on them, but I certainly have talked to enough people over the last few weeks to be comfortable in saying that there are reasonably good labour laws in place in Bangladesh, and we're looking forward to the labour law reform package that I think is to be brought forward in June.
But fundamentally, there exists a culture that would allow this to happen.
A combination of increased inspections and of their intensity and the presence, in the case of Loblaw, of people on the ground on a frequent basis; the demands that buyers can place on and will place on our suppliers—both our vendors or agents and the factory owners, whom we sometimes deal with directly, and sometimes we deal with another.... Ultimately, the factories will feel that pressure, combined with improved infrastructure and inspection capabilities.
I'll mention a meeting that I had—
