I haven't met with the specific individual you mentioned, but we have ongoing and regular consultations with NGOs and with experts in the academic sector, the human rights advocacy sector, and human rights defenders.
Our embassy regularly meets with Colombian NGOs. Our Minister Bernier met with human rights advocates when he was down there, as do our officials on a regular basis. In fact he met with Jorge Rojas, the director of Consultancy on Human Rights and Displacement; as well as Antonio Madarriaga, who is the director of Viva la CiudadanÃa; and Kimberly Stanton, whom I've met with as well when I was down there--project counselling services. In Canada we deal with KAIROS, with Amnesty, and with Alex Neve. We facilitate when they bring human rights observers and defenders from Colombia to their meetings, not only with my department, but we've pulled together interdepartmental groups to discuss the human rights situation in Colombia.
We're very much in an open mode for exchanges with civil society, with real sources of expertise on the human rights situation in Colombia.
