Thank you very much. I'll try to condense my notes and take advantage of the questions.
Like Marie-Joëlle, I'll explain my context for being here.
I think most of you know that I am one of the few Canadians who has actually served in the field, in my case as a special representative of the Secretary-General and head of the UN peace operations mission in Burundi, with a chapter 7 mandate, from 2004 to 2006. I led an integrated comprehensive mission made up of 5,600 troops, 120 police, and 1,000 civilians.
Let me make a comment on your context now. I have to say I was sorry to see that your study is called “Canada's role in peacekeeping”.
