Mr. Chair, I am very proud of the commitment our government has made when it comes to the United Nations peacekeeping operations to support the reforms they wanted. This commitment we made to Mali in terms of our air medevac helicopters is what the UN called a “smart pledge”. A smart pledge is about coming into rotation for a year and then having other nations come on board.
We worked with Romania on this. I visited. I spoke with the minister of national defence of that country to have its commitment, worked with the United Nations and, in fact, spoke with the under-secretaries-general on how we are going to be moving forward and getting other nations.
Therefore, we are actually assisting Romania right now, and we look forward to helping them to reduce this gap. We are committed to making sure the United Nations missions have all the support they require.
