Thank you very much for being here.
Princess Mabel, it's heartening to see your passion for this very important issue.
Dr. Ashok, I was in Ethiopia looking at some of the wonderful work that Canada has been doing there on child nutrition and birthing care. I can certainly see that this issue of child marriages effectively is very much a part of the issue and part of the problem. It was been briefly discussed that you have an issue at the United Nations where you're going to be getting some form of a proclamation from them, I suppose, and it has been mentioned that, perhaps at the government level, more could be done than just at the local level.
There's one other level here, too. In Ethiopia it was very evident to me that that's rather the birthplace of orthodoxy. There are the religious elements, because ultimately, this does go to the community churches. Just speaking on the orthodoxy, although there are Muslims there too, but on the orthodoxy level, there are world bodies, and there is a world body of parliamentarians of some 25 countries that sit and discuss these types of issues.
My question is whether you have considered taking your presentation, as you are here today, to bodies like that that to have direct input to the patriarchs, the metropolitans of their various religions. Perhaps some social benefit could come down from the higher echelon levels to the communities themselves, too. Is this being considered as an avenue of approach for discussion?
