Thank you, Chair.

Mr. Blais, you said that Canada has been disappearing since 2006, and Mr. Tougas, you said that Canada is losing interest in that region.

I appreciate that, because that's my sense from speaking with people on the ground as well, but I would like to ask you this. If they want Canada to be involved, what do civil society leaders in these nations want us to be involved in and to re-engage in?
