Okay, thank you.
We would certainly be supporting global standards, and we believe that Canada does have a critical role to play. We were leaders in that area at one time globally, and I think it's time for us to be the same again.
I also want to get back to the advocacy comment that was made. I fundamentally believe that in order to support and build a socially just and democratic civil society, you have to engage the population in critical advocacy. Without that, it is not possible. I believe that the foreign aid, foreign development, and international development that we do, that CIDA does, if it does not have that critical advocacy role in there, then there's a huge area that's missing, where we're just going to people instead of getting them to think and to speak up for themselves and giving them the skills they need.
Can you specifically say what kind of advocacy it is that your organization does in this area, knowing that your international work is paid for by the public as well by workers? They first pay their taxes, so they support CIDA, then out of their dues to your federation, that money is then used for international development because working people are so committed to that international solidarity.
So just a comment from you....
