Thank you very much.
Thank you very much for appearing before us today.
The alleged violations of Canadian companies and the ties of Canadian companies to forced displacement are very serious allegations. They also occurred without a free trade agreement. They occurred in the absence of labour and environment agreements, which we've been informed by the trade negotiators here are the most robust of any labour and environment agreements Canada has ever signed in any trade agreement, and are in fact the most robust signed between any two sovereign countries in any trade agreement.
Given that these alleged violations by Canadian companies occurred without a trade agreement, do you not welcome a rules-based system to try to strengthen our influence in Colombia on these types of activities?
