Thank you very much, Mr. LeBlanc and Mr. Clark.
Mr. Clark, you mentioned
the role of NGOs and the activists in the world right now. How can we match the Department of Foreign Affairs in these roles? It seems that NGOs right now have more power in a sense than does DFAIT. As you mentioned, right now the number of people leaving DFAIT is high. The number of young people leaving DFAIT is also very high, and we don't have any relève. We don't have anybody to replace them. They don't feel they have anything to do over there, because the solutions are not found through the department; they're found somewhere else.
