Thank you.
Certainly we have submitted letters and we are trying to dialogue with the government about it. I think more dialogue would be helpful. We find there's a hesitancy to talk about this; I recognize there's a security dimension.
What talking about it can also do--and I think it would be important--is to say there is an alternative. Other countries have used alternatives. We have worked with other countries to integrate child soldiers. I've had the privilege of working with some of those young people. You may have met Ishmael Beah, a former child soldier who came to Canada from Sierra Leone and leads initiatives globally.
There is an alternative path. That's helpful for the public debate. The more our members of Parliament debate the alternatives, the more helpful it will be. It's not just to see it so very narrowly, but to talk about it.
