That's a complex question, but let me try to give you some of the answers from our perspective. Perhaps I'll ask my colleagues to join in as well.
When I say that, post-referendum, if the south chooses to secede, there would not be significant new powers, what I'm really saying is there is a great deal of autonomy already. Already the government of south Sudan region are...or have responsibility for a whole range of governance issues. That's not to say that the governance is necessarily very well developed.
So these are areas where Canada is already providing support, in terms of helping them build capacity to deal with policing and with all of the tools of government.
In terms of post-referendum, my expectation is that the Government of Canada would continue to provide humanitarian assistance, capacity-building, and security assistance right across, both in Sudan as it is today and in any other new entity. We would not focus on one necessarily to the detriment of the other. We have programs right across the country now, and I would expect that those would continue.
But the honourable member is quite right; the level of capacity is quite limited and will require, I think, considerable resources from the international community. Indeed that's already happening, and I would expect that there will be more support required, particularly as they try to negotiate some of these issues like resource sharing, or debt, or citizenship. That may be perhaps a new area of focus post-referendum.
