Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank Madam Golberg for her comments and for giving us a good overview of the action plan, what's happened, and the UN resolutions.
Because of our limited time, I'd like to get from her, or from anybody else who would like to add their comments on the different regions, what they see as some of the challenges in implementing this, in terms of the action plan, both on the issue of capacity-building and on the issue of some of the UN resolutions.
Finally, I realize there are some political overtones to the language of the words “failed state”. It tends to be that in DFAIT we use the words “fragile state” a lot more, as opposed to “failed state”. I guess you try to avoid saying failed state.
I'm curious to know why that is the case, given the fact that many other governments use the words failed state to describe certain countries, specifically Somalia and Afghanistan, but also some of the countries we're looking at where there are deeply concerning issues of both human rights violations and the lack of government ability to fully control certain regions.
So there are serious issues of concern, and I wanted to hear your opinions.
Those are my two questions for now.
