That's fine.
Canada is currently holding discussions with India and the Association of South-East Asian Nations countries to pave the way for trade agreements. I assume you support these negotiations. Correct me if I'm wrong, but you're seeing a lot of challenges and a lot of opportunities there as well.
That being said, we know that there are human rights abuses in these countries and regions. It's been documented by Amnesty International, among other groups. We've had witnesses here at the committee who have told us about the Philippines and Malaysia, and about human rights and environmental rights violations. One of the things we heard about is the production of palm oil, which may represent an opportunity for many of your members and many of the companies you represent. However, the operating conditions there can be catastrophic and disastrous on many levels.
In your view, would Canada be justified in also having non-tariff barriers to prevent lower-cost products manufactured under those types of conditions from competing with our own products?
