Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I think I'll start with Minister Nicholson. One of my secondary duties is to be the Canadian co-chair of the Canada-U.S. Permanent Joint Board of Defence, and we deal a lot with security issues and some development issues in the Americas. We've talked here a lot about the Middle East and Africa and so on, but we do have a lot of engagement in the Americas.
I'm just wondering if you could comment on where we're sitting in terms of some of the development of regional security through security systems reform in that part of the world, particularly in the Caribbean, Haiti, Central America, and Mexico. Do you have any thoughts on that?
