Thank you, Chair.
The chair is right: you were not only succinct, but your opening remarks were very helpful. We're trying to make sure we fill any gaps between the time we did previous witness testimony for our study and what's transpired between then and now.
There's no doubt in my mind, and I think my colleagues will agree, that Honduras is in a very tough situation on many levels. They need not only good leadership there, but lots of help from the international community.
I was glad you pointed out the two different investments that Canada had made. I think with the kind of economy they have, they're going to need some help for some time until they have the capacity to get to the point where they have an international standard, a first world standard as regards the rule of law and human rights.
I'm going to ask you some detailed questions. I don't want to put you on the spot. You've already given us lots. If you need to send some of the information later, then I'm fine with that.
There was one thing I was very happy to hear about. You mentioned results in regard to the technical forensic training, and the fact that they had made some significant progress on seven high-level murder cases. I think they actually resolved these cases. That's very good news.
You mentioned earlier in your remarks a program that provides 39 sets of protective measures and three sets of provisional measures to protect those who are at a high risk.
Again, because I like results, do we have any evidence that those measures have to date thwarted any kinds of threats or intentions to cause those individuals bodily harm?
