Yes. Thank you.
I'll deal first with the UPR, and then I would ask to Mr. Sigouin to answer in terms of the Organization of American States, since he is the one who has been doing most of the work with the OAS.
Regarding the UPR process, indeed the Canadian Human Rights Commission welcomed that process, and as chairs of the ICC, we did conduct regional workshops internationally to assist national human rights institutions to participate in that process.
We welcome the opportunity and the fact that all member states would be under the review. As you know, Canada certainly had supported that process. We did provide a submission in February, as I had mentioned the five-page submission. This was not solely by the Canadian Human Rights Commission, but we consulted as well with all of the provinces through the Canadian Association of Statutory Human Rights Agencies. So we engaged with all ten provinces and three territories, as well as with 60 NGOs, in developing our submission. We did that through Rights and Democracy. So we made the submission. As I mentioned, of course, we attended and intervened last week.
We think it is a good process, and certainly I believe our experience is that it opened the door to greater dialogue and engagement with civil society and the government as far as our role in terms of any follow-up work. Yes, we certainly have offered to be part and parcel should we be given the mandate by Parliament to do any kind of follow-up or reporting work that may be in terms of any of Canada's obligations and response to recommendations.
On the OAS, I'll ask Sébastien to respond.
