Thank you.
I'll move on to Mr. Cameron. You said a couple of things that I think are very important for the committee to note. The first is that Peru has essentially refused to keep its obligations under the ILO, so Peru is already breaking treaties that have been signed. Second, you mentioned the Manhattan Minerals case, in which essentially there was local grassroots democracy that pushed back on a mining company and forced it not to devastate a particular area.
In both of those cases, I guess referencing this bill, my question is this. Does the bill in any way improve the situation? Does the bill make it possible, as well, for grassroots democracy to continue to play a role, for people to say, “We don't want that project in our municipality”, or does it actually make it more difficult for citizens to stop those kinds of developments? Is there anything in the agreement that actually allows for a substantive hammer to ensure that when Peru breaks its obligations under the International Labour Organization, Canada can actually intervene forcefully?
