Thank you very much for the question.
I'll start by talking about the conference. The UN Peacekeeping Defence Ministerial Conference was an extraordinary opportunity for Canada to showcase not only what we are going to commit for peacekeeping, but additionally, the principles that the minister laid out—that our 600 troops are not as significant in the 20,000 people who are out doing peacekeeping at this time as much as our principles and our approach to peacekeeping and women, peace, and security. That includes training police officers, training other countries in how to use women in peacekeeping, being alongside them as they train women who are actually in the field—as opposed to having women peacekeepers stay at the base camp and not out interacting with the citizens in need. That approach will change the outlook on peacekeeping significantly.
The minister, the Prime Minister, and the special envoy, Angelina Jolie, spoke to the criticality of doing no harm in peacekeeping. When peacekeepers from other countries are sexually assaulting the most vulnerable citizens that they're supposed to be supporting.... Those are not the values Canada supports.
Our entire approach to peacekeeping at UNPK and the Canadian view of peacekeeping was, I think, well understood by everybody in the world and much appreciated.
