Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Almagro Lemes, for giving a very eloquent speech, in particular on the human rights issue.
Before asking my question, I want to acknowledge the presence of another Canadian, who is seated to your right. He's an old friend, Christopher Hernandez-Roy. I also want to mention that, 20 years ago, when I was in the Organization of American States, or OAS, there was also talk of financial crises. In fact, there was talk of financial crises very often.
You mentioned the need to strengthen the inter-American system for promoting and defending human rights. However, as we know, the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights has also experienced a financial and political crisis, to some degree. For our part, we've asked the Government of Canada to increase its support for the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights.
Can you describe the current situation? To what extent is the commission still experiencing difficulties in terms of both finances and certain countries?
Thank you.
