Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Madam, gentlemen, good afternoon. Listening to you speak earlier, I thought that poverty and inequality, among other factors, gave rise to violence, insecurity and political instability.
Mr. Faustin, if I understood correctly, you're a member of a group that is subsidized by CIDA. Your activities are therefore subsidized by Canada. However, Ms. Shamsie, a researcher who appeared before the committee, told us that Canada had been somewhat mistaken in previous years in attaching greater importance to Haiti's economic development than to its agricultural needs. She said that, in 2005, Ottawa had decided to stop giving priority to agriculture in the context of its foreign aid programs.
I see you've nevertheless attached importance to stock farming. Is agriculture a priority for you?
