General Dallaire, in the little time that's remaining, I want to ask you—and it follows up with your previous comment—about paths to peace and how to best get there, whether in the Congo or in other conflict settings.
As far as the Congo is concerned, Canadian programming includes a component that focuses on democracy promotion, particularly in schools with young people. When we look at situations such as the Congo, six million deaths in the past 20 years or so, a situation that seems to be getting worse before it gets better, I wonder if there might not be a tendency, a fear within Canada, within the international community, in fact, to put democracy on the back seat, on the back burner, if you like.
Instead, if we're going to promote peace in such settings, we focus on economic security, we focus strong security forces and law and order, but I think a lot of the problems that we find in the Congo and in other places like it are the result of a lack of democracy.
Would you agree with the point that has been made by others who have testified at this committee, not in relation to the Congo but in other situations like it, that democracy has to be front and centre, and that the promotion of it has to be front and centre in Canadian foreign policy?
