Ms. Rosena Joseph
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.
