I would like to continue in the same vein as Mr. Patry.
You know that the majority of corporations have facilities in Latin America and Africa. Most of the reported cases of human rights breaches, forced population transfers and environmental catastrophes occur in those countries. It might also be said amongst ourselves that most of these states cannot manage their own resources.
Concretely, what can be done when you are told of cases of blatant violations on the part of mining companies in those countries? I am referring to the Great Lakes Region of Africa, Peru, Mexico and Colombia; a multitude of cases were reported to us. You talked about measures and strategies. Can the government take concrete action against these delinquent companies?
