I can absolutely confirm that the Prime Minister has been in touch directly with the president of the Palestinian Authority, Mahmoud Abbas, on several occasions, both orally and in writing. Yes, the Prime Minister was involved in those early discussions in Sharm el-Sheikh that determined the early steps of this peace plan.
I can say that we do not engage with Hamas. We have absolutely no contact. That's a strict policy because it is a terrorist organization under the Criminal Code of Canada. We do deal through some of our partners, like Egypt, Qatar and Turkey, that do communicate directly with the Palestinian factions and do try to bring about a resolution of the conflicts between the different factions.
