We have previously heard from a number of expert witnesses who, murdered journalists aside, mentioned the fact that dozens of members of the opposition party LIBRE were murdered in the months leading up to the elections in November 2013, that dozens of trade unionists, indigenous leaders and hundreds of campesinos have been killed since the coup d'État for reasons linked to resources and political conflicts. They also mentioned that the impunity rate for these murders is 98%, that there is an office of special human rights prosecutor but that the budget is only enough for one person's salary and the use of a car and that the Honduran government's social spending has dropped since the coup d'État although overall spending has risen.
Tell me this, Mr. Bannantine. How do these facts tie in with your policy of social responsibility? If Aura Minerals can conduct activities in Honduras—as you are already doing—without the free trade agreement, is it not your opinion that the Canadian government should establish the improvement of the Honduran government's social responsibility as a priority in the negotiations?
