I'll be brief, Mr. Chair, and then I'll give the rest of my time to Mr. Hiebert.
Thank you, Doctor, for your testimony and also for all the good work you've been doing. You've been studying in the south for almost 30 years now.
You did make the comment that two people who were critical of the government mentioned the U.S. intervention in this. It seems it's convenient for leaders to create an enemy and distract people from problems.
On that note, the other enemy that was mentioned in some other testimony was Colombia. We also had a witness from a very credible NGO who said that's kind of ridiculous, because many Venezuelans were originally Colombians who migrated. Is that true?
