Global Affairs Canada has been involved in an interdepartmental strategy to disrupt gangs with the RCMP, the Canadian Armed Forces and the Department of National Defence in order to carry out that strategy. It drew analysis from a Haiti-integrated intelligence cell with the intention of supporting the Haitian National Police to disrupt gangs in Haiti.
Of course, our international programming has also focused, in terms of international assistance, on interrupting sources of arms funding in Haiti as well. This is done predominantly through UNODC funding that we provided—UNODC being the UN Office of Drugs and Crime—as well as through training that we provided, which was funded through the International Organization on Migration for both training and equipment to help surveil criminal activities.
