Thank you very much, Mr. Sunquist.
I have two short questions for you. It seems that there is no end in sight to the conflict in Darfur, even in the medium-term. Nobody knows when it will stop. Furthermore, the situation in Darfur has somewhat destabilized the neighboring country, Chad. It seems quite likely that this destabilization was aimed at not allowing the mission of the United Nations to increase the number of its troops in Sudan. Even if there is an embargo on Sudan, they will be able to get whatever weapons they want from some country, especially through Russia and China. My question is quite simple : could we not resolve the situation once and for all through the United Nations if the Security Council decided to take a firm stand, especially with the participation of China?
Secondly, you have talked a lot about corporate responsibility. When I was chairing this committee, two years ago — time flies — we did a study on corporate social responsibility and we produced a report. After that, the corporations, that is to say the extractive industries, as you mentioned, produced some guidelines in February. They support that. Later on, EDC supported those principles for Equator and, in March, the roundtables established by the federal government produced a report. Nothing else has happened since March. Eleven months later, we are still waiting for the government's response.
Is it not time for the government to give us a response, not in the form of pious wishes but in the form of a full-fledged policy?
