I mentioned before that we're looking at democracy and securing the hemisphere security. We want to make this more prosperous, so we are working very seriously with the organizations that are in place. We are looking forward to the April summit that is to take place and making sure that Canadian interests in this area are advancing not only our interests but, of course, the hemispheric interests.
We are reinforcing partnerships with countries in the area, not necessarily limited to Brazil, Chile, Peru, or Columbia. Minister Kent is working extremely hard with these countries to develop good relationships. This is something that is a requirement, but it's long overdue.
The Prime Minister's visit about two years ago sort of set the trend for what we want to be able to do. Here's part of Canada's foreign policy, such as the Arctic was, that has been neglected for a number of years and needs to be shored up and looked at seriously. This is exactly the commitment the Prime Minister and this government are making.
