Mr. Chair, I thank my hon. colleague for the question.
This issue of who is behind this conflict and who is financing it is a very complex and thorny one.
Our government has not as yet signed the small arms treaty and that is problematic, because it does create a situation where small arms are being funnelled into South Sudan to both sides of this conflict. It is something we need to take a look at ourselves in terms of this treaty and we need to make sure that we can figure out who is financing the conflict.
