As far as the first question is concerned, as to whether the international community has managed to respond rapidly to the priority issue, creating jobs to stabilize the country, I must say that my assessment is very negative. This was the main request made by the Haitian government in Washington.
In my opinion, this can be explained by the fact that none of the major banks, whether from Europe, Canada or from the United States, have found the appropriate administrative mechanisms to do so. Haiti's requests are dealt with like any other international investment, which takes a long time and is often poorly adapted to the situation.
I will give you a single example of the results that this entails. In Artibonite, we were helping farmers' associations to manage their water under the framework of a program. At the very same time as we were mobilizing people with a view to improving water management, we were awaiting investments from the Inter-American Development Bank intended for the repair of canals and the irrigation systems. So long as those funds were not there, everything that we were doing on the social front was useless. And what is even worse is the fact that when these people do not get that funding, this results in tensions and violence.
All of these delays and mechanisms do not square with a short-term investment strategy. That is the kind of strategy that must be used in Haiti. I can assure you that it is important to do so. It would help appease social problems.
Canada could help the situation by encouraging these banks to develop adapted administrative arrangements.
