Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you for coming, Mr. Latulippe. This is very difficult for you, I know, and many of the questions that have been asked of course are before the courts and it is difficult for you to answer some of those.
I want to shift channels. And I know that you'd probably appreciate that, but I think that it's important that we shift channels too because we are in perilous times. I think most people would agree, when we look at what's happening in Egypt, across the Middle East. And this morning I read in the paper, I think others did too, that Indonesia, which is.... Oftentimes we think about the Middle East and that as being the largest democracies of Muslim countries, but Indonesia, of course, has that distinction. We read the alarming trend where we're starting to see some...discrimination, we'll just call it, and more than that, some violence against other groups of people within their own Islamic sects as well as, of course, Christian churches.
It is absolutely important that we maintain and that we grow our democracy. I know that's really the job of your organization, and I know that's where you want to go and that's where you want to take us. So I wish you would just talk to us at this particular point and tell us what we're doing there and what we can do to just stop what's taking place there.
