Mr. Chairman, I was not aware of the report produced by the subcommittee in the last Parliament. It would be helpful if the clerk could circulate a copy of that report so that we could read it. I do not know if it was examined by the standing committee. In any case, I am also interested in the report.
I do have a question for our witnesses. Thank you to all for taking the time to come here and inform us, and obviously for having courage in addressing this matter.
As part of your recommendations, you've asked that the Government of Canada investigate complaints against Canadian mining companies in the Philippines. My colleague Madame Bourgeois suggested there might be some connection between Canadian mining companies and some of this violence.
Could you briefly help to inform us on how that might be the case? Are you alleging, or do you have any evidence, that Canadian enterprises in the Philippines have in any way, directly or indirectly, been involved with those who have committed this violence? What sort of information, if any, do you have?
