Thank you, Chair.
It's good to see both of you again.
I was intrigued by your comments along the lines of capacity building. On page 9, you make the following reference:
It is important to have coherent and well-considered approaches. The growing interest in supporting political parties, for example, needs to be considered carefully.
Just as an aside, my brother was in the former Yugoslavia before their elections. He was helping with a project there on how you run and organize campaigns. One of the issues was to tell them—and this is literal—to leave your guns at home when you go canvassing, and to teach them how to interact. I had the same reaction as you did, that it's absurd. But it was just the culture of their democracy. In that, he was working on the ground in terms of how you formulate a political party, how you come up with an agenda, and how you go out canvassing and get your message out.
I'll just touch on your point here. You were saying it has to be considered carefully. Are you aware of approaches, or have you been involved in how to support political parties and how to nurture that capacity?
