Mr. Htoo, I'm curious. When my colleague asked last about encouragement of foreign investment, I think your suggestion was to refrain from that until there are laws in place. I just want to make sure I heard that right. I don't think anybody would disagree that there should be environmental laws and so on in place. Specifically, then, because we are a Canadian parliamentary group, we would pressure our companies to refrain from that. Doesn't that play into the hands of those who would have no regard for environmental laws—I'm thinking perhaps of the Chinese—when you block countries?
Most of these companies have signed an agreement. It's a UN declaration, and the name escapes me right now, but there is a formula that is expected for conduct by mining institutions. Wouldn't it be more advantageous for you to invite those groups in than to encourage them, and to possibly apply pressure from our side to make sure they adhere to those laws? That's my first question: I want to get clarification from you that you're actually suggesting that we refrain from investment.
Secondly, wouldn't the best thing be for your country to build a strong middle class, and once you have a strong middle class that has something to lose when it comes to economic pressures, wouldn't that be more advantageous for you?
I'm just a little bit confused. I think I'm hearing mixed messages here. I think I'm hearing you suggest that we ought not be the first ones to get right in there and invest.
