I know you were being accurate. I know you knew that. We all do that from time to time; it doesn't get wholly accurate. I just wanted to make sure it's on the record.
Mr. Blackburn, I was interested when you talked about LRDIs, which are local resource development initiatives, where you're actually training workers in the host country where you're developing projects.
This leads me back to the free trade agreements, where there are two side agreements, one on environment and one on labour. As both of you are well aware, as you both quite ably pointed out in the beginning—and you've been here many times—you've heard it over and over again. I'm certainly not pointing fingers at any one particular company. Your company has a great reputation, by the way, and I would be the first to acknowledge that.
That doesn't mean that all companies have great reputations in countries where they go. It is one of the things that I have been very clear about, based on my background as a trade union leader. When you develop contracts, which is basically what we do in collective bargaining, we have a contract...that it be in the body of the contract. When things are set aside beyond the contract, and the time comes to actually sit down and resolve those disputes, they tend to have less weight.
We can argue yes or no, but the bottom line is that that actually happens in a lot of cases around the world. Seeing that you've taken the initiative independent of this—because we don't have a free trade agreement and you're doing this now—can you see a sense of why we shouldn't just simply adopt the labour agreement and put it inside the main body rather than having it outside the text? Would you agree that perhaps if it's equally important to mention it outside, we should just simply put it inside, as the U.S. is now doing? It's not like they're not.
