I am talking about the amendment. I am making a comparison, Mr. Chairman. I'm trying to demonstrate why an amendment such as this is important. I am referring to Canadian unions because of the experience we have had here, obviously. I did not go to Colombia; I was not part of the Committee.
I think we should use our own experience in Canada and Quebec and give others an opportunity to benefit from it; we should be using a free trade agreement to promote progress in that society as well. We don't even have the courage to do that, and yet it says here: “protect, enhance and enforce basic workers' rights”. There is one important way of doing that, and that is to say that they have the right to collective bargaining. But you don't want to do that. You prefer to remain silent, even though this is extremely important.
