Thank you for the question. It's a very good one. I will just offer a very general observation.
I had the honour and pleasure to serve in Mali for several years in our mission there, as the UN mission was being set up and as the peace agreement was being concluded. The linguistic capabilities of Canada are among the reasons our participation has been sought. In a number of instances, we have witnessed first-hand some linguistic divides within the UN mission itself between, say, English-speaking groups in a particular sector, who don't have the ability in French, and other sectors where you may have French or other troops operating or French-speaking troops operating.
Among the many other competencies that have been outlined, I think the linguistic abilities are among the reasons that Canada's participation has been actively solicited in this part of the world.
