Thank you for your question.
First, we could continue our support for civil society, which is extraordinarily well organized. Ms. Martel talked about the Montana accord. I want to remind you that that accord, which was signed on August 30, 2021, was signed by 418 civil society organizations, 105 grassroots organizations, 85 political parties and groups, and 313 public figures.
Canada has to support that accord, which proposes a transitional government that would have two years to prepare for democratic elections. There is already a joint transition body that brings together civil society organizations and political parties and represents a model for consensus and work. Haiti has therefore made an effort. We know that there are very diverse views in that country.
I therefore hope that Canada will support the Montana accord. That is the plea that we are hearing from our partners, because this democratic crisis has to be resolved. So Canada could hear the signatories to that accord in order to support them more directly.
We could get started immediately on supporting the Haitian police, which needs resources so it can play its role. We can certainly continue to support humanitarian aid, and even increase it, and continue to support international cooperation. In fact, when Canada supports international cooperation, it supports Haitian NGOs directly.
Thank you.
