I know that one of the Canadian companies is called Ivanhoe. Ivanhoe is working together with the Burmese government in a joint venture.
You will know that Myanmar Ivanhoe Copper corporation is on the targeted sanctions list made by the United States government. For me, this is clear that this company is not doing...ethically in Burma. Also, working together with the Burmese military junta, it is helping the Burmese regime to grow richer and richer.
Also, I don't believe those are.... You know, there are so many businesses in Burma, but especially the extractive industries: mines, oil, natural gas, in every sector. I don't think they can do this ethically. First they have to deal with the government. They have to bribe the government. They have to work with the government's cronies to get the business licences to work in these areas. It seems at the beginning stage they have to make a lot of financial support or any other kind of price to those people in authority.
So since the beginning they've had to counter a lot of ethical...[Inaudible--Editor]...in doing business in Burma.
