Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you to the witnesses for appearing today.
Canada is a country of law and order and by all accounts, from what we're hearing, unfortunately Haiti, or at least the part of it under gang rule, is not. This committee has undertaken a study of the effectiveness of our sanctions regime and last June the minister imposed further sanctions on Haitian gang leaders.
Can you talk about whether those sanctions have been effective? Are we seeing any effect? Do the Haitian gang leaders have some assets or trade or interests in Canada where these sanctions might be effective?
