Thank you, Mr. Chair.
But the question was directed and the answer did come back. I'm asking for more details—not being told it's different, but being given specific details as to how it might be different. Otherwise one can assume it is very much like what we heard last Wednesday, which is, in the case of human rights issues, kill a trade unionist and pay a fine. I don't think that would be acceptable to most Canadians.
I'll move on to another commercial aspect of the agreement, and that is the impact on the Colombian economy. As you know, under NAFTA there's been a meltdown in the Mexican rural economy, with over one million jobs lost. The last tariffs were taken off goods into the Mexican market on January 1 of this year, which has led to demonstrations and more lost jobs across Mexico. There are major concerns about the impact of NAFTA on the rural economy in Mexico.
So I'd like to know from the ministry's point of view what studies you may have done as to the impact of Canadian exports on the Colombian rural economy, particularly when we talk about foodstuffs, such as beans, going into the Colombian economy. Of course this has been a major concern to people in the Colombian rural economy, who could well see the same impact of Canadian goods in Colombia that we've seen from U.S. goods in Mexico, which has been a horrific meltdown in their rural economy. Have you done any studies to indicate what the impact would be?
