Mr. Speaker, I do not have a direct response on the Japanese initiative but I certainly can repeat what my minister has said, which is that we strongly support a role for the United Nations in reconstruction. We have been consistent from day one on that.
As others have asked today, we also are talking to the coalition partners, the U.K. and the United States, in planning for the rebuilding of that country which is in difficult times.
We are completely in support of a global, multilateral approach to reconstruction in Iraq.
