I don't know about some of my colleagues, but some of us have been paired up by international organizations, not through the parliamentary system, and have found it helpful for exchanges of information. I was paired up with a parliamentarian from Zimbabwe, not only for exchanges of information, but also around issues of safety for parliamentarians, and that network was organized by an international organization. So even if we couldn't do it formally through the parliamentary system, it might be something that an international organization would be willing to do, pairing willing women in the Canadian system with women who are interested in the Sudanese. It was just a network to share information and ideas, and sometimes it was actually a phone call to say: “Could you get this out in the media? I think my life is in danger.”
I think it's a piece of support that some women may be willing to offer, and it will be certainly worth pursuing.
I also want to echo Madame Deschamps' issue around Resolution 1325. Many of us believe that if we don't have women involved, there will not be peace, and many of us are absolutely committed to it. Speaking for New Democrats, I know that our party would be interested in looking at that. If you know of international organizations who would be willing to work with us on that, I can speak to the other women in our party. I think it would be an invaluable exercise.
Thank you for coming today.
