Thank you all very much for being here.
Mr. Tennant, I agree with you. Flying up the White Nile, all I saw was tremendous economic opportunity for the people of Sudan. I certainly share your views of the Dinka and Nuer who are there and their extraordinarily resiliency. When I was down there, I thought, these people will do just fine if they're free of conflict and are able to have a bit of opportunity to fend for themselves.
We all know that conflict is the enemy of development, and I'm deeply concerned that the CPA will fracture before or after the referendum. Can you give us any insights, from your perspective, as to what will be required to ensure that the CPA will be strengthened and not fall apart, and what role Canada might play in ensuring that will happen?
A question I posed to the previous group was that perhaps there's a way--and I don't know whether you have any opinion--for Canada to try to take a leadership role in engaging with the Chinese and the members of GNPOC to replace their oil assets from Sudan with another source, such as Nigeria or Angola. Any insights you have on that would be appreciated.
