Merci beaucoup, monsieur le président.
Thank you, Professor Hampson, Dr. Regehr, and Mr. Samson for being here today.
If we have a responsibility to protect, I would argue we don't have an obligation to act in the face of conflict. We have a judicial framework, but unfortunately we don't have an enforcement mechanism.
My first question is in terms of the execution of what we could do to prevent deadly conflict. I know you are all experts in this. Is the Standby High Readiness Brigade dead in the water? If it is, how can we resurrect it, if that's appropriate? If it isn't, how can we make sure we have a functional brigade that can be inserted into an area when we know a conflict is pending?
