Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Thinking on from that discussion on the diaspora, it would seem that the group presenting before the Sri Lankan graduates was more of a Tamil diaspora. By extension, it would sound as though many different factions and groups are the diaspora of Sri Lanka. The difficulty there would be to bring all those diasporas together as one, if that's even possible or feasible to do.
I would like to go back through history a bit to get a little understanding on it. When the British were in charge and were governing the country, what was the percentage breakdown at that time? Has it shifted any? It was mentioned that roughly 12% are Tamil now. What were the percentages back then? What difficulties did the British have? What made their system of governing, for all intents and purposes, not have these extensive difficulties? How inclusive were they of the various subfaction groups? They must have been inclusive in order to have had relative peace, or did they have relative peace?
Perhaps you could comment, Mr. Bush, on what happened previously under the British and what lessons we could learn that perhaps should be reviewed and looked at once again.
