Thank you, gentlemen, for joining us this afternoon.
I appreciate your mentioning in your statement that your actions as well as a police presence, are precursors to economic, political and social development. You say that at some point, your presence guarantees security and subsequent actions.
In the various countries in which you have operated, how do you determine how successful your actions have been, given that you are only there for a short period of time?
I note that you have worked with the police in Haiti. I also know that some law enforcement officials have trained here in Canada and later returned to Haiti. Recently, we read in the newspapers that these police officers had not served in Haiti. You stated that your efforts have led to a reduction in the number of kidnappings, but that this continues to be a problem.
Have your efforts been successful? What actions should you have take to restore order?
