Wow. Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. I appreciate that.
You have documented a whole series of violations and concerns--the killing of union representatives, torture on behalf of the military arm of the Colombian regime, the paramilitary arm of the Colombian regime. You have documented that thoroughly. You've put this report out, and hopefully people around this committee table will be reading it thoroughly.
You are saying that we need to do an independent and impartial human rights assessment. What is your fear if we simply push ahead, as some would have us do, despite the fact that there is very little commercial benefit to Canada? Certainly there is a huge downside on the human rights side. What is your fear if we push ahead with the agreement without any idea of whether or not we're provoking increased violence and human rights violations?
