Thank you, Mr. Chair. You started with a really good and pertinent question.
We're actually interested in moving this file forward, but the biggest stumbling block that I have is the human rights and labour issues in Jordan.
I thank you, Mr. Ambassador, for being here today, and hopefully you can provide some more detail as to what's happening in Jordan with regard to migrant workers and domestic workers and their rights as individuals, because we see them as key and central for Jordan to move forward with Canada in terms of a trading relationship.
My first question is this: why can non-citizens in Jordan not organize under the labour accord, as you rely a lot on foreign workers for Jordan? Why can they not organize under your current legal system?
