Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Actually, I'm going to begin where Madame Lebert invited us to, and that is with respect to the national action plan.
First, I'm going to put the same question to both witnesses.
Ms. St-Pierre, you mentioned one resolution among many others, Resolution 1325. October will mark the 10th anniversary of that resolution. You also discussed the human rights violations and sexual violence now common in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
I will put the same question to both witnesses. As you know, the Government of Canada recently disclosed Canada's Action Plan for the Implementation of United Nations Security Council Resolutions on Women, Peace and Security. There is a group of resolutions with which you are quite familiar. The action plan is based on four indicators: prevention, participation, protection, and relief and recovery.
My question, really to each of you, is, how effective is the Canadian plan of action?
Madame Lebert, you were inviting this question. In the context of your remarks, I'd just like you--and Madame St-Pierre--to give an assessment of the Canadian plan of action and what we might do in that regard.
