Thank you, Mr. Ferro. I'm going to move on to other witnesses, but I do want to point out that Mr. Santos, who is a candidate for President Uribe's party, has said exactly the same thing. He has accused human rights organizations of being connected with terrorism and has actually been accused many times of being just as vicious and aggressive with human rights organizations as Mr. Uribe.
I'd like to go on to Madame Hallé.
Thank you for being here today.
Could you tell us a little more about the attacks against the aboriginals and Afro-Colombians?
Furthermore, a previous witness—the only witness involved in human rights in Colombia—talked about the attacks by paramilitary agents against gays and lesbians in Colombia. Could you also talk about this increase in violence against human rights advocates and militant unionists since 2008? This is important. Some of my colleagues only talk about the period up to 2007, and they forget it. I think it's important to hear testimony on this increase since 2008.
Lastly, you said that, for Canada—this is very clear, and I hope this message is understood around this table—pushing in favour of this agreement will, if I'm citing you correctly, repudiate the work of the Canadian NGOs in Colombia and could endanger Canadians in Columbia.
Could you comment on those three points?
