Minister Hassan and Mr. Jama, I'm very happy to have you here. As an MP from the Ottawa area, I'm very happy to see Carleton graduates who are succeeding so well and contributing so much. Thank you very much for that. I think that underlies the fact that we have so many Somali Canadians—talented, educated and passionate Somali Canadians—who are not just contributing here but also contributing in Somalia. I'm very pleased to see that.
My question is actually a combination of what you said about the importance of inclusive politics, good governance and institution building and what Mr. Wrzesnewskyj was asking with regard to women. We know that institutions need to have representation from all people in society. Could you comment a little bit about the role of women, both in political participation, in the constitutional process, and in institutional capacity-building?
