On the last question, I think the Liberal amendment is a retreat from what was a consensus among all opposition parties not two years ago.
On your first question, I think the committee should hear from the International Pre-Electoral Observation Mission that went to Colombia. The stats I cite for you are taken from the judiciary in Colombia. People who hold elected office are facing charges. Those charges are not for jaywalking.
I think you should take the time to hear from witnesses about what those elected officials who have been convicted were convicted of. You should ask the questions.
I also implore you to.... I think Bill C-300 should be adopted. I just read a report last night, MiningWatch Canada's “Land and Conflict: Resource Extraction...and Colombia”. Bill C-300 is a good bill. Why can't we set up a framework? I was astonished at the amount of attention being paid to Canada in Colombia, because Canada is paying too much attention to Colombia and the rest of the world isn't.
