Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and thank you to our witness. I'd also like to mention that if there is any time left over, I will be sharing it with Mr. Braid.
You had mentioned one theatre of operation and another disaster zone. Those are the two places I'd like to touch on with my questions.
The first question s in regard to Bosnia. Well after the fighting had stopped and things had been stabilized back in 2001, our soldiers were still there helping to maintain the peace. They conducted operations from time to time, more or less to find secret hidden caches of weapons. During a series of such missions what they found were caches of non-perishable food, seed, fixtures for homes, all things that were meant to go to the people based on donations to humanitarian organizations. It appeared that these caches were being controlled by local municipal councillors, through sort of an underground railroad so to speak for these goods, a black market. So we had that situation.
Then we have the situation we're reading about in Jacmel, where they are putting ghost tent cities up so they can glean more aid. What measures does your organization take to avoid both of these types of situations--one in which they're using the benefactor's goods for a black market and raising money, and the situation in which we have reportedly phoney places so that perhaps more supplies will be dropped off in Jacmel--to ensure that the goods, services, and care are getting to the people for whom it's intended?
