In the area of institutions for local development, to my mind, when you look at the informal sector and you realize that these are largely people trapped in poverty, and that 80% of the work in many countries is done by women, there really isn't much you can do without addressing that issue of livelihood. All the rest of it is going to depend on that, so we've concentrated a lot in that area. We've also spent a fair amount of time working on women's entrepreneurship, generally speaking, not just in the informal sector.
On top of that, one of the key issues—and this is where the UN Global Compact has done a lot as well—is trying to give real meaning and substance to the work of John Ruggie, who has led the way to creating a bridge. It has to be a win-win solution. It can't be a win for this side or a win for that side, if you're going to have sustainability. Everybody's going to have to lock in to it, if you want it to continue.
What I think John Ruggie has done in working with the UN and creating the business principles for human rights—the responsibility to protect, etc.—is that he has really created a framework that the international business sector has bought into. We've helped promote those. As I said, I produced a book in Pakistan—produced actually by Pakistanis in Lahore, who were holding seminars around the country to work on it.
There is one thing I would recommend, and again, perhaps Canada's government can help here. Hernando de Soto has already drafted the law on what can be done to create titling, property rights, and most importantly, when you realize Haitians don't have identity.... It's not just that they don't have land, but they don't have identity cards. How do you get insurance? How do you get into school? How do you get in and out of the country, except by smuggling, without an identity card? You have to create these identities.
