Thank you very much, Mr. Chair, and thank you very much to all of the witnesses today.
This has been very enlightening, very interesting, and as my colleagues have mentioned before, it's extremely important for us to understand what's happening in Haiti so that we can provide whatever assistance we can.
Madame Clesca, that was very interesting testimony that you've just provided. What I started hearing from my colleague from the Bloc is that there needs to be a political response first, but we've also heard from Mr. Brender that the humanitarian crisis is so pressing at the moment.
I'm struck by the fact that it looks like we will have to do many things at the same time to help Haitians as they deal with cholera, with security and with the failure of their democracy. All of that is coloured by the idea that interventions in the past and actions that have been done by the international community in the past have tainted what we do going forward.
Madame Clesca, I'd like to start with you.
I know you've met with many Haitian Canadians over the last several weeks. I know you've had an opportunity to talk to over 50 groups of Haitian Canadians. Can you tell us what the Haitian-Canadian community is asking for and what they are talking about, please?
