Thank you, Mr. chair.
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. I thank you for being here today.
About this disinvesting in Sudan, which is the topic of today's meeting, Mr. Sunquist, you were saying that the number of Canadian companies in that country is rather small. Therefore, it seems to me that we have to look at this issue differently. I understand that all the efforts of Canada are aimed at peace, and that there is a desire to change that situation in Sudan. However, the issue of foreign disinvestment is still very topical.
Do you believe that such measures can really have an impact on the government given that those people do business with banks which are not in our world. They deal mainly with Islamic banks from the Gulf. Do you believe that disinvestment measures can improve the situation or accelerate the peace process?
