Thank you very much.
I thank our witnesses very much. Welcome once again.
Mr. Manuge, in your presentation this morning, you mentioned currently drafted guidelines. You told us, and I quote:
Bill C-300 asks the ministers of the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade to draft a set of what appear to be mandatory regulations using a number of internationally recognized voluntary guidelines and one policy that is internal to the International Finance Corporation.
You also say:
... Bill C-300 would require [you] to build or acquire the capacity to investigate and adjudicate claims of human rights abuse and environmental degradation.
Is it reasonable to assume that the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade could effectively manage the complaints mechanism provided for in this bill?
