That is correct. In the latest report released on April 8 by Ms. Arbour, who leads the International Crisis Group, she says that in the Congo, plans for democratization are completely bogged down. Even before Ms. Arbour's report, in July 2009, the International Federation for Human Rights published a report entitled “Democratic Republic of Congo: The Authoritarian Drift of the Regime”. In the report released by the organization led by Ms. Arbour, one of the recommendations is that Canada tie its aid to good governance criteria. Congolese bishops came here last December. They were received by members of Parliament. They said that corruption is becoming the “general environment in which political action occurs”. That is taken from their July 2009 and July 2008 statements on the occasion of the 48th and 49th anniversaries of the Congo's independence.
What do we expect from Canada? It did not fund elections to arrive at the result described by Ms. Arbour in her report. She is Canadian; she is a fellow citizen. When she publishes a report, I may read it six times over. Her proposals say it all. We only have to follow Ms. Arbour's recommendations.
In addition to that, there are other reports, and the arrest warrant issued by the Spanish authorities. We also have an arrest warrant issued by French authorities. Those reports describe the perpetrators of the crimes committed in the Congo, as well as the connection between the genocide in Rwanda and the terror in the Congo. That is part of the plan. The judicial systems of both France and Spain—two democratic countries like Canada—have said that. And the evidence is there.
