As I said, we have been consistently pressing for a return to democratic and constitutional rule, and part of the reason the road map came out when it did is pressure from the international community. I think the Malian government has made sure there are some strong elements in that road map, but there's been a strong message from the international community that it has to be a credible road map. All credit to the Malian government, but the international community and Canada did their part.
As David Morrison said, we are continuing to support provisional critical services in Mali: education, health services, etc.
Going forward, the government will continue to reflect on contributions Canada can make to address the situation in Mali, taking into account where those contributions would have most value, and taking into account where our international partners are directing their assets.
