Thank you to our witnesses for their articulate testimony. Both of you also testified during our study on Honduras and Canada. Concerning the previous point on human rights, I think it's true that no company goes into a country wanting to necessarily violate human rights, but in a country like Honduras where there's no strong judicial system, I think there are problems in Canada’s signing trade deals with these types of countries.
Mr. Heidrich, I'd like to go back to a question that my colleague asked Ms. Campbell and give you a crack at it, concerning the line found in the GMAP, “to modernize existing FTAs to maximize the benefits to Canadian workers, exporters, businesses and investors.”
In your view, Mr. Heidrich, do you believe that there is enough evidence to show a causal link between FTAs and wealth creation and productivity gain or employment?
