Canada can help in a number of ways.
The first is in capacity building. This is largely inexpensive and can be, if done properly, very effective in its delivery. Canadians, especially Canadians working abroad in humanitarian and development capacities, are trusted. We had a very good experience with our MDP program, the military development program, when we had advisers in countries. We've seen this in development and humanitarian capacities.
This can link into the work going on with the UN right now—something I'm involved with—in trying to push forward this synergized and collective approach to humanitarianism, development and peace. This is breaking the silos, taking a systems-based analysis and making recommendations that address the system-based pressures, not just the siloed pressures. Canada has an important role to play. We have excellent higher education programs in this space as well.
The second is deploying advisers to help make systems more resilient in-country. As I said, Canadians are trusted and knowledgeable in this area. We have a number of advisers in the room today who work in-country on these issues. It's much better to develop internally safe, responsible and effective systems than to allow migration to go outside the borders, if it can stay well managed inside of the borders and these groups are protected with all the status and benefits that they should have. Sometimes these governments need to develop more resilient systems—to absorb shock when it happens—that are made up and informed based on that collective analysis.
I would put in a strong vote not just for sustained funding at the emergency coal face but also for capacity building.
