Thank you. My questions will be brief.
Given the violations of human rights in many parts of Africa, not only in the Great Lakes region but other parts of Africa, and also given the humanitarian crisis taking place in some of those countries, as we see it there is a need for Canada to take a leadership role in supporting and working with regional partners as well as regional bodies.
To that extent, how much funding and support and how much activity are we doing to work with organizations, such as the African Union, for example, and also the African Court of Human and Peoples' Rights?They haven't had a case yet, but there is also a huge problem of lack of funding to even get these courts going. Unless they're prepared to support these fundamental institutions to deal with human rights violations, they will never be able to begin to address some of these violations.
I'm not sure how active we've been on that file, that's number one. Number two, would you consider the DRC a failed state?
Those are my two questions.
