Mr. Laird, once again with respect to this legislated right, we know that negotiations are under way with India and Association of Southeast Asian Nations, or ASEAN, countries to reach two separate trade agreements. However, as we know, the human rights record in those parts of the world is worrisome to say the least. Amnesty International has documented it. We know that environmental rights are being violated. Take palm oil, for example, and a great deal of other such products that are harvested in quite appalling conditions.
Let's say we pass environmental legislation on where certain products come from and under what conditions they are produced. What would we do if we were accused of having non-tariff barriers ourselves and then we accused other countries around the world of the same thing, and they told us we had put up barriers out of respect for human rights or the environment? How could we achieve that reciprocity?
