Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Secretary of State for Latin America and Africa. Like the vast majority of Canadians, I applauded the success of the election held last month in South Africa. I was particularly proud of the prominent role played by Canada in supporting the democratic process in that country.
Can the minister tell the House how the Canadian government will help the new Mandela government and the people of South Africa, especially during this post-election period, which is so crucial for the future of that country?
