Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all of you for your testimony.
Mr. Heidebrecht, thank you very much for your presentation, which was very interesting. I am particularly impressed with what you do to promote a culture of peace. Here we talk about ''peace building''. I would be pleased if we could hear more about that some day.
I also noted your appeal to greater diplomatic involvement in controlling the flood of weapons into the region. The financial aspect must of course also be considered. The amount of money we can allocate to help resolve the terrible situation in Syria is one issue, but there is also the process to be considered.
Over the past few weeks, several people involved in this file have told me that the process lacked clarity, among other reasons because they are often asked to reply to calls for proposals quickly, but then do not know when the money will come, when the projects will be approved and when it will be possible to implement the programs.
Can you tell me if you have encountered this situation in one way or another, and especially what more we could do to improve the fluidity of the process?
