Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all of our witnesses.
Each of you really spoke about the theme that the democratic transition that's happening in Syria really needs to respect diversity, respect rights and build an inclusive democracy. I would like to delve a bit into that.
I'll start with you, Ms. Dureid, but I'd also like to hear from Mr. Ozsoy later about the Kurdish communities in particular. Ms. Dureid, you have done a lot of work around women, peace and security. We know and we've seen globally that when women are not just beneficiaries of aid but are actually at the table, participating, and have a real role in the governance process, the peace and the stability last longer. I wonder whether you could tell us what you think Canada can do, given that we now have our third national action plan on women, peace and security, and Canada has a lot of expertise in this area.
Is this where Canada might have a niche, where we could provide support to the women in Syria in this regard?
