We could hope so, but there would have to be a whole new Ministry of Labour. There would have to be real pressure from the U.S. government.
Speaking in terms of the U.S.-Jordan free trade agreement, our government knows exactly what's going on, because inside that cable they say that we have to put more pressure on the Government of Jordan; we have to let Jordan know that we give them more than $600 million a year and so on.
So everybody's aware of the problems, but they're not being corrected. The guest workers are really suffering.
As a matter of fact, do you know what the Jordanian government did? When we put out our report in 2006 that first exposed the trafficking of workers and the bidding on workers, they banned Bangladeshis from working in Jordan. Their response was to put a ban in 2006 that no Bangladeshis could come into Jordan. That lasted three and a half years, until 2010, when they needed more Bangladeshi workers. They lifted the ban and they allowed Bangladesh women to enter Jordan, but not men. So this thing is a manipulation from beginning to end.
It could be further improved, but you would have to sit with the government at a high level, and it would have to be serious. They would have to be held to some accountability.
You might be able to do that. You might make a breakthrough.
