Thank you, Mr. Chair. I have two questions; I'll try to be brief.
Mr. Kingsley, our committee will have to submit a report in a few weeks on how we view the establishment of democracy. That's very important for us. I realize you have vast experience and that you're making points that we've heard elsewhere, coming from other countries. I see that you're all working together on democracy.
Is it possible to get your opinion in writing? You said earlier that democracy should be based on the values, history and culture of the country. I think that's extremely important. Have you previously compiled all your experience, and information in a document that you could file with the committee? That's my first question.
My second question is this. We see on your Web site that the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade determines whether Canada should take part in establishing democracy, that CIDA funds interventions and that Elections Canada provides the necessary competencies. I suppose that means three separate budgets.
Could you submit to us the budget that is allocated to you when you go to another country and make efforts to re-establish democracy? You said earlier that you were lacking resources.
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
