Thank you very much, Mr. Chair, and thanks to both of our witnesses for being here this morning for two excellent presentations.
I wonder if I could start by asking a couple of questions to allow you to further elaborate on some of the points you made.
Ms. Livingstone mentioned that one potential role for the Canadian Forces would be to provide mentoring or support for regional associations or organizations like the Organization of African Unity. I have a couple of questions about that point.
First of all, do you feel that those regional associations have the capability to have primary responsibility in peacekeeping operations?
