Here's the problem I have with where your argument is going. Maybe that argument is true and accurate, but you're asking a bunch of Canadians to make that judgment for Colombians.
I have a sister-in-law from Cali, Colombia. I'm having some friends up tonight from Colombia. I'm hosting them in the parliamentary restaurant. One of them used to be a human rights attorney down there and did work on various things, until, for various reasons, she was forced out of the position. When I go down there, I talk to friends, and I don't see the opposition to it that I see from Canadians. There are some who are opposed, there are some who are in favour, but we keep having a problem in that the political parties that don't support the agreement tend to have very little support.
I know we've talked about how there has been crookedness and corruption in the elections, and I don't doubt that. With Chicago, and with Tammany Hall, American politics had a lot of that, too. I can list incidents here in Canada as well. But ultimately, shouldn't we let Colombians decide what this is all about? Wouldn't you say, at the end of the day, Colombians need to decide whether this is a good deal for Colombia, and Canadians need to decide whether this is a good deal for Canada?
