My next question is for Ambassador McNee, who is in New York.
First of all, good afternoon. You played host in New York to some NGOs from my riding at the Review Conference of the Parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. One of the agencies from my riding was singled out for its peacekeeping efforts. Therefore, speaking on their behalf, I want you to know that they enjoyed their visit to New York very much.
Since you are closer to the decision-making powers in New York and more attuned to what is going on between different states, no doubt you know that the Obama administration and Mr. Clinton made statements to the media and expressed the hope that Canada would extend its commitment beyond 2011.
Can you tell us more about this and gave us a status report, from a diplomatic perspective, on ongoing efforts?
