Nonetheless, it is unfortunate for us that the enemies of trade agreements use the deaths of union members, although these have decreased markedly, to say that Colombia should be punished by having the international community refuse to approve free trade agreements with it. The union members who are involved in this campaign against free trade agreements are therefore fighting against the interests of workers whom they claim to defend.
If these agreements do not take place, and if the Canadian Parliament does not cooperate with us by approving this trade agreement, then without a doubt there will be an increase in unemployment, and, as my colleagues pointed out previously, there will be many more situations of violence in our country.
