Well, the good thing about Canada is that it has this human rights policy in place. There is “Voices at Risk”, which we should be following. Part of our recommendation is that Canada should reassess its involvement in the Philippines, particularly related to the military, and use the existing policy that's already in place. “Voices at Risk” is a very good policy that would protect human rights defenders, and human rights defenders include those who are concerned about the mining operations in the Philippines.
