First of all, sir, I didn't begin my last round by saying how much I respect you and the risk you've taken. You've outlined it in a very clear way.
I agree with the fact that letters and interventions from government, from committees, all keep a focus on the activities of any government and they do have a positive reaction.
There was a misunderstanding about the difference between a study mission and an investigation. To be truly on the ground doing a proper investigation, I think will require the UN rapporteur or a group from there to succeed at a comprehensive study. On the other hand, a study mission by this committee would make sense, where it's more of a symbolic gesture than a physical investigation. The other side of it is we wouldn't be going there to investigate Canadian companies. We would be going there to look at the human rights situation in the Philippines. A part of it may well be Canadian companies, but we would be there if we decided to do that.
I want your comments on that. I believe the potential for doing some good with that is very much there on a study mission level.
