Of course. Canada has been a member of the Organization of American States since 1990. We are very much engaged in that organization as the second-largest contributor of both assessed and voluntary contributions. The OAS plays a very important role on a number of issues, including, as I mentioned in my opening statement, electoral co-operation, supporting democracy, human rights, security and the development side. We support a lot of that work through our assistance and our funding in the regular budget and through voluntary contributions.
We are also involved in the Summit of the Americas process. The next summit will be held at the end of next year in the Dominican Republic. That is always a useful forum for leaders to engage on the pressing issues in the hemisphere.
We've been supporting within the OAS the Department of Electoral Cooperation and Observation, or DECO, on electoral observation and technical support to electoral bodies; the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights in the important work that they do; the Inter-American Commission of Women and a lot of the work they do on the ground; and the Secretariat for Multidimensional Security, where we are providing capacity-building funds as well.
In terms of other inter-American institutions, there is, of course, the Inter-American Development Bank, in which we are an important shareholder; the Pan American Health Organization, where we engage; and the inter-American institute for agriculture. We engage with a panoply of institutions.
