Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  My comments were very much along the same lines. We must also reach out to groups that are involved in justice, the justice system and human rights to discuss this issue. I agree with Mr. Boisrond and Ms. Martel on this point.

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  I'll repeat what Ms. Martel said.

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  Thank you for your question. First, we could continue our support for civil society, which is extraordinarily well organized.

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  Good morning. The Association québécoise des organismes de coopération internationale, AQOCI, is composed of 70 Quebec organizations, 34 of which have been active in Haiti for many years, and even decades. AQOCI is also an active member of Concertation pour Haïti, a group of Que
