Thank you very much for being with us today.
I have a number of questions to ask you, mainly concerning available resources and the Canadian projects we discussed.
Mr. Tougas, you said that the solution was in the hands of the Congolese government, which should be addressing the problem directly with the aid of the international community. You also discussed the challenge to the election results. A president was indeed elected, but his opponent declared himself president, saying that there had been fraud during the elections. There was talk of corruption.
As regards the financial resources that are given to the government, we have no guarantee that that money will necessarily be distributed to the organizations on the ground. A number of representatives of organizations who testified before this committee said that they were somewhat dissatisfied with the situation because their needs were not being met as a result of the bureaucracy, corruption or other factors.
Could you provide us with more details on that point?
