Overall, Mr. Chair, this is not just about the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights. The OAS as a whole is going through a significant financial crisis. This is a $120 million organization, give or take, that's running on $80 million. Part of the problem is that some significant member states, such as Brazil and Venezuela, have not paid their dues, and that is creating a significant shortfall. You have a cascading effect happening, and it's not just on the commission, but across the organization where the organization's financial situation is difficult. Are there discussions to raise quotas? Yes. Canada's position is that we wouldn't be raising quotas at this time.
