Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you for your contribution to this. You've really highlighted an interesting way of looking at this, because you've kind of turned this issue on its head. It's important that you did that, because a lot of the discussions about why it's so important to have women in peacekeeping have centred around this idea of...I think your term was “civilizing” the peacekeeping operations, and you've done a very good job of illustrating why it's so important to look at it from a different perspective.
In 2017 Canada hosted the UN peacekeeping conference, at which Minister Freeland announced $15 million as a pilot project to fund women's participation. You commented on this in your opening remarks, but what do you think of where that money was spent? I'm taking it from you that if the environment is correct, then women are just going to want to get involved, but that money was specifically put towards recruiting, training and promoting females. Is that the wrong place to be spending the money?
