Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Witnesses, thank you for your views on this issue.
I'm a bit confused. We had witnesses here at the last meeting, I believe, and one of the Canadian companies actually on the ground was also here. They told us that it would be beneficial if this Honduran free trade agreement were ratified. Those companies also appear to have well-developed corporate social responsibility policies. They were able to describe for me some of their activities in Honduras with respect to medical care, poverty, poverty reduction, and other areas they operate in.
Mr. Grinspun, you mentioned security contribution. I'm a little puzzled here because, in my understanding, if security in a country is improved, that is good for the population of the country and that is good for society in the country.
My question is about expanding our presence in Honduras. By the way, this witness also told us that they pay way above the minimum wage in that country and that they have all kinds of facilities to improve the life of Hondurans.
If the culture is changed in a country from narco-trafficking to work culture, is it bad or is it good?
