Thanks very much. I'll respond and then, if possible, maybe Ambassador Carrière can follow.
The Core Group really plays out on the ground and in Haiti amongst the ambassadors and representatives.
First to Mr. Foote's comments, I think his comments were directed towards the Government of the United States for the most part and a bit towards the Core Group. All I'll say is—again it does sound a bit like rhetoric, but it is something that we've long espoused and continued to—that the only way forward is for Haitians themselves.... Canada, the Core Group or anyone else cannot simply impose our views on the Haitian people; they must determine the way forward.
I think in the summer, when the tragic assassination took place, there was obviously a lot of confusion and crises, so when there was an agreement between then Prime Minister Joseph and the person who had been nominated to be Prime Minister, Mr. Henry, as a way forward, the Core Group certainly said that was helpful for stability. We also made it clear at the time and since then that there needs to be a long-term solution, that it needs to involve all parties and that we need to get to elections.
I think the most recent meeting that Minister Joly hosted was an opportunity, because it was much more than just the Core Group. Many in the international community said this quite loudly, and said directly to Prime Minister Henry, that there needed to be an agreement amongst all of the parties, that he needed to reach out to the civil society and the opposition to reach one. So we were pretty clear.
However, maybe, Sébastien, you could come in a little bit about the workings of the Core Group on the ground.
