Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman.
Thank you very much, all five of you, for being here. I'll go very quickly, because times passes quite quickly.
First of all, Mr. Nizam just mentioned Health Partners. I know them very well and I have carried medication myself on some trips to Africa. They're a great association. I just wanted you to know about this; we know them very well.
I have a question for Mr. Nizam.
You proposed a round table to bring peace. First of all, on what grounds do you want peace over there? It seems that in a short time the LTTE will be out of their country, in a certain sense. There was a peace process with the northern European countries under the umbrella of Norway--a very successful peace process, in a sense. But it's always starting over. In my understanding, the conflict goes back as far the Brits and the Tamil government, and right now that would be the new government for the independence.... I mean, the Sinhalese are 80% of the population. There are the ethnic community problems and also religious problems.
We need to talk about the religious problems. What are the grounds? Who should be the leader to try to bring peace over there? This question is for all of you.
I have a question also pour le révérend père from Montreal. I just want to understand—and the Muslims also could answer this question--do the Catholics have the same problem as the Tamil Sikhs and Hindus and others face? Do you have any people among these 200,000 people who are kept hostage in the northeast by the LTTE? Do you have any family there? How does it work?
We'll start with Mr. Nizam.
