Canada's diplomatic engagement is multi-faceted: in Sudan, obviously, through our embassy's interaction with Sudanese authorities in Khartoum, as well as with southern Sudanese authorities in Darfur. It is an ongoing effort. The political section in Khartoum and officials in Darfur are in constant contact with local authorities and NGOs, civil society and other political actors.
But our diplomatic efforts are not confined to Sudan itself. The situation in Sudan is a major international issue. So we are focusing our efforts on international forums, like the United Nations Human Rights Council, but also on our interaction with other countries that have some influence in Sudan or that are stakeholders, and on our contacts with rebel groups in Darfur, and there is our participation in the Doha peace process, the Darfur peace process.
I should also mention an outreach effort with the Sudanese community in Canada. A number of meetings in Toronto, Winnipeg, Calgary and elsewhere, where the Sudanese and Sudanese Canadian communities are concentrated, led to a conference in Winnipeg last month to create a dialogue with Canadians of Sudanese origin, who have very relevant opinions.
