International Trade committee  —or Madam Lisson. Either one of you can answer.

International Trade committee  Thank you so much, and it's nice to be a visitor on this committee today. I have big shoes to fill. Madam Lisson, you spoke about the participation of Canadian companies in violation of the rights of indigenous peoples in the area in the Philippines. You indicated that the Philippines is an “El Dorado of human rights abuses”, including the failure to obtain proper free, prior and informed consent, a direct violation of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.

International Trade committee  I have one more question. That's certainly not free of coercion, which is one of the foundations of FPIC. Monsieur Beaudoin, you spoke about violence against indigenous women and girls by mining companies in the Philippines. We're currently doing a study at the status of women committee on the relationship between resource development and increased rates of violence against indigenous women and girls in Canada.
