Our strategy of collaboration with the diaspora includes regular discussions with organizations that help immigrants integrate, with Haitian churches, with international aid partners, with organizations that advocate for political dialogue and with Haitian student associations. This is in addition to the ministerial commitment.
For example, this afternoon, Minister Anand is meeting with her Haitian counterpart on the margins of the United Nations General Assembly, or UNGA, to discuss the crisis situation in her country and reiterate the importance of engaging in dialogue with all segments of society.
I also want to point out that Canada's ambassador to Haiti, André François Giroux, is in regular contact with representatives of the Haitian diaspora in Canada.
