Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), we turn to our briefing on the situation in Mali.

I want to thank our witnesses for being here today. We have George Saibel, who is with CIDA and is the regional director general for west and central Africa. Mr. Saibel, welcome. Thank you for being here today.

From the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade we have Patricia Malikail, who is the director general of the Africa Bureau, and Renata Wielgosz, the director of west and central Africa relations.

I believe we have two statements this afternoon.

Patricia, we'll start with you.
