You described how the U.S. government, ostensibly the greatest rival to Havana, has been able to provide aid on the ground through USAID and other partners. You've recommended Caritas, the church network, the legalization of more civil society. These are all important things.
According to some accounts, including that of the Patriotic Union of Cuba, the last time this organization in Cuba had any engagement with the embassy of Canada was during the Harper government, over 12 years ago. Not since then has there been any systematic approach to engage Cuban civil society by the government.
What's your assessment of that?
