Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I apologize, but I will have to leave after my question. I have to be back at the House just before question period today for other matters.
Thank you, Mr. Craig, for being with us.
I'd like to begin my question by referring to the testimony of Henri-Paul Normandin, director general of the Latin America and Caribbean bureau at the Department of Foreign Affairs. He testified before us on November 6. He also reviewed some of the same concerns that you have shared with us today regarding the culture of corruption and impunity and the reports of human rights defenders, journalists, and justice sector workers being targeted for intimidation and violence, including murder. He mentioned two prospective reforms, and that's what I want to speak to you about, and if time permits, a third.
First, he spoke of the willingness on the part of the government to work with multilateral human rights institutions, including by extending an invitation to the office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights to open an office in Honduras.
Do you see this as a willingness by them to engage even beyond the UN high commissioner with human rights institutions in Latin America, as well as other multilateral ones internationally?
