Mr. Chair, I ask that I move this motion and that it be held in public.
The motion before you is that we do a report on the hearings we had on the operation of the Canada-Colombia Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act. I say we need to do that report because hearings shouldn't be just window dressing. When we hear from people, we should report to government and make decent recommendations of where they could improve their operation.
On this particular issue, we did two days of hearings. We heard from a number of important witnesses. A number of concerns were raised about the fact that the government didn't act on what was stated in the implementation act—that there be a report from both Canada and Colombia on the human rights issue.
