I am, a little bit, and thank you for the question.
I don't have statistics on the reduction or not of the number of child soldiers, but what I can tell you is that since the negotiation of the convention on child soldiers, we have at least succeeded in establishing a new norm, so I think the debate and the awareness of the issue—and obviously we have some extraordinary Canadians who have made people aware of this issue, with General Dallaire.... I know that Canadian Forces personnel, for example, when they go out into operations, are given training around the convention on child soldiers, for knowing how to recognize and how to treat children differently.
The raw numbers I don't know, but my very strong sense is that as the convention was negotiated—it must be 18 years ago, or something....
Is it longer than that?
Anyway, since the convention came into force, we have the norm established, and as you know, that's an extremely important first step, at least.
