Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all of our witnesses. I wish we had a lot more time with all of you. I have questions for each of you, but I'd like to start with Ms. Berishaj-Sylejmani.
Maria, it's good to see you again. You spoke a lot about women, peace and security, and we know that the former Yugoslavia is a very good example of both the worst and the best when it comes to that. I'd look at the Dayton accord as a bad example. There were no women involved in that, and some of the instability of that accord is probably a factor now. I note what you said about the dialogue between Serbia and Kosovo and the lack of women there—that we don't want history to repeat itself.
You said there needs to be more investment. One of your recommendations was that Canada provide more support for women, peace and security efforts going on in the region. I know there have been a lot of spontaneous platforms where women in Serbia, Kosovo and Bosnia have come together on their own in order to facilitate dialogue in ways that the formal processes may not have been able to do.
I wonder if you could talk a bit more about what Canada could do to support that.
