I thank the witnesses and the interpreters, particularly those who have travelled. I will try to keep my questions brief to get concise answers. In relation to the situation in Guatemala, a lot of the examples that have been given have identified issues of intimidation and pollution related to extractive industries. Has this resulted in the displacement of people, whole communities or even parts of communities?
