Thank you, Mr. Chairman,
Welcome to our witnesses. It's a pleasure to have you here today.
This agreement, as we have heard here, has been a long time in the making. It's not something that happened overnight. Certainly, from the government side, we see this as a very progressive move, not just for Colombia, but also for Canada, which will increase our business and our activities in the Americas, which is something we brought in as a government and we see as a very important part of our relations in the Americas.
There are a couple of questions that I think we need a little more clarification on, and I know it's difficult when we all have to deal with time constraints here.
The gentleman from the unions made a statement. Apparently, the last time you appeared before our committee you said that about 10% of the unions support the FTA, and it looks as though those numbers have changed, or perhaps--it's entirely possible--you were misquoted. So very briefly, could you tell me roughly what you believe the support from the unionized industries in Colombia for the FTA is today?
