Welcome to you both.
My first question is for Mr. Wright. How many people do you presently employ in Colombia? What are their working conditions? Are they unionized? You talked about your companies' social responsibility. It was stated that 10% of your profits were devoted to human investment. Should that be the standard? Should a free trade agreement better frame corporate social responsibility?
Mr. Laurin, you are very familiar with the manufacturing sector in Quebec and throughout Canada. Which manufacturing sectors would benefit the most from a free trade agreement with Colombia, and which ones might be threatened?
There is also the issue of respect for human rights. A good many union members have been assassinated in Colombia over recent years. What fears might such an agreement bring about for businesses setting up shop in Colombia and that must have some form of security?
