I will try to do that, Mr. Chair.
Thank you very much, Ms. Spring, for coming.
My colleague Ms. Grewal last week put this question to Mr. Iliopoulos:
While Honduras nominally subscribes to the International Labour Organization's standards, in many countries they have serious issues with enforcement and implementation. To what extent is the labour standards situation compliant with ILO standards, both at Gildan and other factories in that country?
Mr. Iliopoulos answered like this:
We have a very strict code of conduct that's based on ILO principles. We're accredited by the Fair Labor Association, which is a strict NGO that accredits social compliance programs, and based in Washington, D.C. We conduct regular audits, including internal audits, external audits, third-party independent audits, of our social compliance program on a regular basis every year in each of our facilities. That's something that's been, as I said, both from our perspective and third-party perspectives, customers'.... The apparel industry, specifically in Honduras, is really held accountable to a higher standard....
It goes on.
Are you saying by your testimony that Mr. Iliopoulos misled the committee when he made those statements about his organization?
