In Honduras and the Central America region, Canada remains very concerned about the security situation. In terms of murders and violence in the region, those statistics seem to be coming down. There seems to be a positive story around there, but it's simply not enough.
With the recent events that we have seen in Honduras, it's not just about the indigenous leaders and the terrible circumstances around those murders. In Honduras and El Salvador and other parts of Central America, the issue of youth gangs is pretty significant. That has consequences for us, particularly in terms of migration northward-bound.
Canada's programming in Central America aims to strengthen institutional capacity so that we can address issues of human rights and democracy and governance and so on. Although we are seeing progress, it's still not enough. The progress that we're seeing, although positive, still remains a significant concern for Canada.
