Mr. Chair, I discussed the group that Canada directs and that coordinates assistance to the Haitian National Police. One of the biggest priorities established with regard to that coordination group was to initiate Canada's co-operation by setting up an office responsible for screening candidates wishing to take the training offered to members of the Haitian National Police. That office has been operational since April 2023.
In addition, the RCMP has offered polygraph training to members of the Haitian National Police. Participants in various police training courses must first be screened by means of a polygraph test. The aim is precisely to ensure that they aren't lower-rank members of criminal groups. Those two measures that have been taken have changed the situation regarding the selection of candidates wishing to take part in training programs.
