Dear Mr. Annis, Ms. Gessler and Ms. Joseph:
Thank you for your email of September 16, 2011, and the attached report, co-addressed to my colleague the Honourable Diane Ablonczy, concerning Haiti. I am pleased to also respond on her behalf. I regret the delay in replying to you.
There have been some encouraging developments since you visited Haiti. The Government of Canada is pleased that the rule of law features among Haitian President Michel Martelly's four priorities for his mandate, and sees the recent nomination of a Prime Minister, as well as the nomination of a President to the Supreme Court, as encouraging steps toward a functioning government and an independent judicial branch.
