I'll respond to this question in English.
Thank you to the member for sharing that quote and asking that question.
I think that in all things, we are guided by Canadian national interests. We look at this in terms of what we're doing in Haiti currently and, obviously, what will be considered for the future, as well as the situation in Haiti and the situation of the Haitian people.
We are thankful to the United States and, I would say, encouraged by the leadership position they have recently taken in proposing a hybrid approach to try to bring security and stability to Haiti right now. We are particularly encouraged that it involves a multilateral element. A UN support office has been proposed by the Americans.
I come back to the point that we're supporting this because we believe it is in the Haitian interest—this proposal has been supported by the Haitian government—and because we believe it will help us protect and advance Canadian interests as well.
