Thank you very much.
Just before hearing you, we heard the Assistant Deputy Minister of Natural Resources; he was our witness. I put a question to him concerning the government's current strategy, that is the Corporate Social Responsibility Strategy. The deputy minister stated that the government had put in place all of the mechanisms and held all of the tools needed to guide foreign companies and make them more accountable for their commitments.
I asked him what sanctions were imposed, concretely speaking, in cases where there are reports of wrongdoing, where a delinquent company is reported. I would like to know if there have ever been any sanctions.
I'm putting the question to Mr. Giannini. According to you, have any companies been the subject of an investigation? Have sanctions been imposed on Canadian companies that committed offences abroad?
