As was indicated by Gerardo, I want to thank you for the opportunity you have given us to appear before you as witnesses for the House of Commons of Canada.
To conclude, I'd like to say the free trade agreement should be approved for Colombia, for a very simple reason, this being the fact that there's violence here. That situation will not improve from one day to the next, as the trade unionists at your table said. Some terrain has been won over. In Colombia we have improved the situation of human rights but we're not going to eradicate violence in Colombia from one day to the next. If the free trade agreement is not approved because there's violence here, that would mean that in Colombia we would never have a free trade agreement; there happens to be violence here, and there will be violence for one reason or another.
I think the approval of the free trade agreement is a way of helping us. It's very necessary for our country so we can continue along the path of eradicating violence.
I wanted to leave that as a final point so that you can analyze this.
