International Trade committee   in Honduras. It's a major concern. With boots on the ground, the biggest source of insecurity is the drug trade, by far.

Leader of the New Democratic Party of Canada  Mr. Speaker, the next federal election is over a year away and the NDP is already waving the white flag.
