Thanks, Mr. Chair.
Thanks, Mr. Neve, for coming forward.
I think all committee members have very clearly heard your request to come before the committee when we have a real study as opposed to the phantom study. As you know, this bill has not even been referred to the committee for further study. It would be very important to make sure Amnesty International is back if Parliament decides to study this bill further.
I want to start off on the issue of studies. The Colombian government has, of course, produced studies that have been discredited. There was a visit earlier this week on a study that supposedly was done with ENS figures, but ENS has very clearly discredited that paper, both in hearings here and in the evening as well, in Ottawa.
There is nothing to back up the proponents of this agreement. There are, of course, a great number of studies, including the Amnesty study, Human Rights Watch, CENSAT, the Colombian Commission of Jurists, and others.
As part of their due diligence, what should members be reading to have a full understanding of the importance of having this independent and impartial human rights assessment?
