John, my question is for you, sir, because you've certainly spent some time down there. My concern is that oftentimes we hear the Bloc and the NDP talking about the deaths of trade unionists. I'm not saying they've said this, but we have heard from others that it's almost the companies' fault. It almost seems, in that breath, that not enough has been done by the government, etc. We've even had some civil society groups and unionists say that Canadian companies are a problem. I have a hard time believing the testimony when they throw out that blanket statement, that all Canadian companies....
When we ask for some specific examples, there's not one. There's not one specific example about what Canadian companies are doing or not doing in terms of corporate and social responsibility. As a matter of fact, every example we have of Canadian companies clearly demonstrates the fact that not only are you guys doing the right thing, but you're setting the example; you're setting this money aside. So in that context, I have a hard time believing anything that comes out of their mouths, in terms of it being sort of everyone else's fault, and unionists...we're not sure what's going on.
My question to you is this. Because you've been down there, and it may not be directly...is it possible that some of the unionists who are involved or have been killed...that it doesn't relate to unionism at all, but it relates to crime or some of the other issues that are going on down there? We've been led to believe by some of them that it's because they would not get along with the companies. It's almost implied in some cases that it's the companies' responsibility. We have also heard that maybe it has nothing to do with the companies whatsoever, that there is an issue because of the drug crimes, etc., that go on down there. Has your experience given you any insight into some of that, or have you heard of anything that might even relate to some of these things?
