Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Good day, gentlemen.
I am a unionist. I was active in the union in Quebec's agricultural sector for some twenty years. Regardless of the results of your study, Professor Mejía, I still don't think I would be safe if I were a union worker in Colombia. I have to say that I am surprised by your study's findings. Many other groups that have provided parliamentarians with information have not come to the same conclusions. I listened to Mr. Harris and Mr. Silva respond to Mr. Julian's comments, but I would still like to ask you a few questions about your study.
In Quebec, it is quite acceptable to criticize a researcher. It's part of our culture. Therefore, I'd like you to tell me about the NGOs that you consulted. Who are they and who do they represent? Do they play an important role in Colombia?
