Mr. Chair, the list of deployments being planned is very much what we're hoping for. Those are also linked to the capacity of the base to receive more personnel.
At the moment, in Port-au-Prince, the local base for the MSSM can have up to 1,000 police officers and soldiers, including women. Thanks to Canada's contribution, we made sure that there were safe spaces for women. It's very important to have women as part of the MSSM in order to help with the implementation of the compliance mechanism in place to prevent sexual abuse and exploitation.
Once this base is full, the plan is to establish what is called “forward operating bases” in various areas of Port-au-Prince in neighbourhood departments to be able to accommodate more police force.
