Thank you, Mr. Graham.
Unfortunately, we're at the close of the time we had allocated to this portion of the study. We would have liked a little more time to ask you a few questions.
I thank all of you for being very honest in your presentations, I wish you could be a little more...I don't know how to word this, I wish we could be a little more optimistic about the whole picture of Haiti, but I do thank you for your honesty. In some ways we're moving backwards. Sometimes our deliveries have not been the most successful.
Mr. Graham, one thing you suggested: I wouldn't mind if you wrote a letter or an answer to the committee. You talked about scandal, that in Haiti it's almost expected; it's almost a risk we have to take.
In this committee we're trying to take a look at the most effective routes or methodologies of aid delivery. If it's been abused at the other end, we'd like to hear about that, because we want to focus on better delivery. That's what I think all parties want--we want better delivery; we want a success story at the end of the day. In five years we don't want to be sitting down saying, you know what, we're at the same place we were in 1999, or in 2006.
I thank you for your presentations today. We will suspend for one minute, and then we'll welcome our new guests.
I ask the committee to stay close to your desks, because we don't want to lose time in asking you to reconvene.
We suspend.
