If I may, Chairman, I think certainly the government is seized of the seriousness of the situation, of the potential for instability. At this juncture we're certainly very focused on trying to support the processes that are in place.
I think the international community is also very much seized of the issue. It certainly has been a topic for discussion in a number of different international forums. Certainly in the bilateral consultations that I have with a whole range of countries on varied issues, Sudan is often one of those issues of common concern that we raise.
My own personal sense, if I may, is that the international community is seized of this issue and that, as Canada, we stand ready to support, in whatever way we can, some of those things Mr. Proudfoot has talked about.
And in terms of predicting what the outcome might be, I think we have to wait and see what the results of the referendum are and then be ready to respond as required.
