Merci beaucoup, monsieur le président.
In the nearly 17 years I've been here, I think we share collectively a massive frustration about conflict prevention. Sometimes one wonders if we've learned anything from Rwanda at all.
Our ongoing challenge is how we move from this ad hoc approach you mentioned, Professor Hampson, to one that is organized and coordinated between diplomacy, development, and defence.
One of my questions is, do you think Canada has a role to play with, or is there an appetite for developing on the diplomatic side, a rapid reaction development team at a regional or sub-regional level? Is there an appetite to do that, and should Canada play a role in achieving that objective?
