First of all, thank you for coming here today and speaking before the committee. Hearing from all three of you really shed a light on this issue for us.
Again, I want to thank the honourable member from the NDP for bringing this particular line of study to us.
While I was listening to you, there were four Ps that stood out for me and ran across your presentations: the importance of participation and increasing women's participation through effective funding; protection of women human rights defenders—I think the stories of Nubia and Berta really made clear the severity of the issues that are taking place around the globe; prevention of sexual violence in conflict zones; and then, underlying it all, positive outcomes towards peace that are possible with more participation by women in the process.
For me—again, I like things to be fairly linear—this just shines a light on that, and I thank you.
In terms of the particular question, Beth, you addressed this, but I want to come back to it a little more in-depth. It's progress indicators.
C-NAP has been criticized for the difficulty there has been in reporting on its indicators and how well they measure success. Inclusive Security's assessment of C-NAP implementation and the Women, Peace and Security Network's December report on Canada's national action plan both pointed this out.
I'd like to ask where you think specifically the deficiencies might be. Given the renewal of C-NAP that is going to be taking place, how can we improve it? How can we make it better? How can we make sure that things are going where they need to go, and that we can build on a solid foundation?
