I'm going to give you another bit of information. You stated, Ms. Wittfooth, that you had been working on projects in Ukraine since 1992. I don't know if all of these projects were funded by CIDA, but Ms. Barrados, last week, was telling us about one of the projects led by the Public Service Commission of Canada and funded by CIDA that worked less well. It was a project in the Ukraine.
It was mentioned in a summary of the 2006 study prepared by the Public Service Commission of Canada for CIDA. That summary contained the following conclusion:
Perhaps the key lesson from this project is the following: if a clear commitment to human resources management reform is not in place and a country does not have sufficient stability in its political, institutional and public service environment, the chances of achieving sustainable impact through the transfer of individual tools or institutional models are significantly reduced.
And so, I am a little concerned by what has come out of this study by the Public Service Commission of Canada and what you told us about your experiences, Ms. Wittfooth. Have you had problems of that kind? Were corrective measures taken? In light of the fact that your organization is also funded by CIDA, you probably had to produce reports and assessments of your projects. I suppose you must have encountered similar problems.
