Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses for joining us today. It's an important conversation to be having. I appreciate your insight and your input.
Ms. Lavery, you just spoke about the fact that the EDC is working as planned. Your response to my colleague from the Bloc is that it is working as planned. Unfortunately, we have seen examples, as I think my colleague Mr. McKay has also pointed out, of where companies that are acting in very bad faith, that are not acting environmentally and socially responsibly, have received large sums of money from the EDC.
You know, just last month Oxfam Canada released a feminist scorecard. It noted that Export Development Canada provides billions of dollars to support the oil, gas and mining industries [Technical difficulty—Editor]. Will the EDC call for changes to the Export Development Act to include the prohibition of business activity that violates human rights or exacerbates gender equality?
You say that it's working as planned. We have all of these examples where we're actually funding some pretty bad actors. What will you do to make sure that stops? How will we make sure that doesn't continue?
