Thank you for the question. It is especially timely and appropriate.
I just want to add that we do have a Canadian national action plan, as you know. The Department of Foreign Affairs is in charge of coordinating the plan's implementation, along with the Department of National Defence, the RCMP, the Correctional Service of Canada and the departments that deploy people abroad.
The Department of Foreign Affairs will also coordinate the preparation of the initial report on the plan's implementation. It should be ready in September. The department has emphasized training. For instance, four pilot project courses have been tested. The purpose of those courses is to educate all department officers—especially the ones involved in START, of course—on the issue of women in the analysis of all the projects planned for implementation. We also have a civilian protection course for all department officers posted in fragile countries. That course obviously covers resolution 1325. We also continue to chair the Friends of 1325 group in New York.
Our permanent mission is very active when it comes to intelligence sharing with other countries that are interested in those issues. We share experiences, information, lessons learned, and so on. Many activities are ongoing. When our minister of foreign affairs went to Afghanistan, for instance, he took the time to meet with women to discuss their particular viewpoints. The same was done in Libya. So, there are activities on several levels. We hope all that will be properly captured in our September report.
