So it's taking a model that's been used in west Africa, sub-Saharan Africa, and the Far East. It's been used in gangs and urban centres in North America and drug trades. There are a couple of consistent factors. One is the causal identity and the second one is money. There's a great deal of money, in small amounts, through drug trades and prostitution, and all those types of things.
Are there any lessons to be learned, since this is maybe at a scale or at a level of pervasiveness and violence that we haven't seen. I worked in Sierra Leone. It's very difficult for me at a personal level to say this is something unbelievably new, because the violence I witnessed was incomprehensible. Yet we bought diamonds for many years from these places. It was very difficult to get western countries to realize that through our banking, our sales, and our purchases, we were contributing somehow.
Mr. Rafiq, is anything I said outside the limits of trying to understand this issue? How do we stop it?
I'll stop there and pass it to my colleague, Mr. Labelle.
