Thank you.

You said very briefly that, in the past, human rights groups had already criticized the actions of Canadian mining companies operating in the Philippines. Could you elaborate on the actions of these companies? Are they acting responsibly? Do you have concerns from a human rights perspective? Would you please elaborate on that?
