First off, let me tell you about meeting with civil society. I was in Mongolia, if I recall, for four days. Most of my meetings were with the Mongolian civil service. Some meetings were with the executive, the Prime Minister's office. The President's office in Mongolia is now involved with Maria Barrados. I wasn't involved in those meetings.
During the four days, if I recall, I believe I had three meetings with people you would call people from civil society. That's my Mongolia report.
I think you and I, Mr. Saganash, may have a difference of opinion. I believe it is important for Canadians, and Canadian parliamentarians in particular, who represent the people of Canada to empower the parliamentarians of Honduras or Mongolia or Ghana to reflect the will, the desire, the wishes, and the direction they are getting from the people of their own countries.
I think we have to be very careful, from a Canadian perspective, that we are not imposing our values on those countries. They may be imposed with the very best of intentions. I'm sure the vast majority of our motives are absolutely pure. But I think the more important thing is to enable the parliamentarians to represent the people of the country in their dealings with whatever the industry may be.
