Thank you to all the witnesses here today. I had a question for Dr. Johnston about what would be needed in terms of investment in Venezuela to ramp up production to what it was, certainly in light of comments by companies like Exxon saying the oil sector in Venezuela is “uninvestable”. Ms. Dickinson, I have a couple of questions for you. You talked about the three-point plan from the Americans, [more]

Thank you. How do you think a country like Canada should respond to the recent developments in Venezuela, specifically in terms of reopening diplomatic relations with the regime in place?

Thank you very much. I don't have any more questions.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I would like to thank Ms. Drukier and the ambassador for joining us today. Ms. Drukier, you said in your opening remarks that, so far, we have not seen much change on the ground regarding the situation of refugees. Is that indeed the case?

Let’s try to look a little further into the future. Earlier, you mentioned that we were looking into the possibility of doing more, particularly in humanitarian terms. Do we have any idea of the criteria that would lead Canada to decide to intervene more significantly, again in humanitarian terms?

Earlier, you spoke briefly about humanitarian aid, particularly in response to my colleague Ms. Fortier. Could you explain a little about what this involves? Who are the partners we are working with on the ground in Venezuela? As we do not have a significant Canadian presence there, I imagine we are dealing with local or international partners. Could you provide us with a little more detail on [more]

I have no more questions, Mr. Chair. Thank you.

I have one final question for you: Could you confirm that we have granted amnesty to political prisoners from Venezuela in Canada?
