I have a point of order. We agreed to adjourn at 12:30 today. Mr. Brison interrupted my comments and my questions. I'm certainly always willing to get information, but it has to be factual.

Let me just finish. In the department of Narino, the Awa aboriginal group were victims of two massacres over the last six months. Following the first massacre, the FARC admitted they were responsible for the crime. They killed the Awas because they suspected that the Awas had been cooperating with the government. The Awas who were killed in August are located in areas surrounded by the FARC and emerging groups involved in drug production.
The minister of defence has indicated there were no military battalions anywhere in the area where the massacre took place. However, a small cocaine production laboratory was found near the site where the killing occurred.
I just thought Mr. Julian would be interested in that.
Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Brison.
With that, we'll conclude and thank our witnesses for being here today. It was very helpful. Sorry about the sidebars, but we get that.
I will just dismiss the witnesses. Thank you very much.
For the committee, just before we leave, I want to say that next Tuesday we will begin the first hour with a wrap-up of our discussion of supply management. In that working period, lunch will be served from 11 until noon. At noon, we will resume this discussion with the Canadian Cattlemen's Association.
Thank you. We're adjourned.
