Thank you for the question.
In terms of positive actions that the government or parliamentarians could take, I feel that the next step is to evaluate the options that lifting sanctions has created for Canada.
It was impossible, really, to consider stabilization or development programming in the context of where we were previously. Now there are options, and I think it will be important for us to evaluate those options and to decide where our priorities are.
I'm currently in Lebanon. One of the real successes we've had, with the financial and market collapse in Lebanon, are programs that provide small grants to women entrepreneurs. That might be an interesting model to look at as we try to rebuild civil society, but also as we try to ensure that women have a greater participation in Syria's economic recovery.
Let's see where we are. Right now it's still very early days. We have a long way to go, but we'll definitely have to consider ways that we can support civil society, freedom of speech, free press, all of those. However, I think that women will be at the heart of all those decisions.
