Madam Chair, we are subject to your rules and, if you agree to allow me to respond to my colleague on this important issue, then I will.
Obviously, we expect all Canadian businesses abroad to conduct their activities responsibly and to respect human rights.
I thank my colleague for raising this important issue because I recently met with representatives from Amnesty International and the Canadian Network on Corporate Accountability, and we talked about those issues.
I want to assure my colleague that, on my last visit to Chile, the first thing that I did was to meet with people from UN Women to learn about Canadian mining operations in that country. It is something that I take very seriously. Every time the opportunity presents itself, I remind Canadian companies that the government expects them to follow the strictest rules on corporate social responsibility, and I will continue to do so whenever the opportunity arises.
