Mr. Chair, we do not see any difficulty with this motion put forward by Ms. McDonough on Standing Order 108(2) on the ongoing study of democratic development. We would see that DFAIT and CIDA officials were prepared to report back to the committee during the first half of 2007 concerning programming commitments, principles, and objectives for investigating fragile states. It's not something that we would be opposed to, because it would shed light also on what the Government of Canada has been doing in reference to fragile states.
So we wouldn't have any problems with supporting that motion.
