I want to respond to several points very quickly.
First of all, had the Conservatives who were in the House of Commons voted for Bill C-300, it would have passed. Secondly, it's hard to see that Bill C-300 would irrevocably damage the extractive sector, given that the mining and oil and gas companies in Canada already claim to adhere to the standards embedded in that bill.
On the question of whether I object to USAID's project or World Vision's projects in Peru, of course I don't object to those projects. I question CIDA funding such partnerships for the reasons I enumerated in my comments, which are that CSR projects cannot replace public policy and institutions that are dedicated to poverty alleviation. In fact they can undermine those policies and institutions, and that's my concern.
