Ambassador, many Peruvians are clearly upset with the state of their democracy.
In a trusted poll done by Vanderbilt University, just 21% of Peruvians are satisfied in their democracy. That's down from 52% a decade ago. A trusted poll shows that the majority of Peruvians support the protests. Clearly, there are challenges with popular support in Peru for democratic institutions. There have been six presidents and three congresses over the last five years. Freedom House has highlighted a pattern of institutional classes between the executive branch and the legislative branch.
My question is very simple. What can the Government of Canada do to assist your government, your country, in helping to stabilize your democratic institutions and helping to restore Peruvians' faith in their democracy? What can the Government of Canada do in terms of support, aid, democratic assistance, those sorts of things?
