Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
In your remarks you mentioned the appalling situation of human rights in Honduras. This is the context in which the Canadian government and Canadian corporations operate in Honduras. The Canadian government is the second largest foreign investor in Honduras. Honduras is the largest bilateral aid recipient in Central America.
There's also the issue of the free trade agreement. As you discussed, there is the involvement of the corporations, particularly the mining sector. There's this culture of impunity. Given that whole context, what can Canada do to better promote the human rights situation, protect the human rights defenders, etc.?
