I do not necessarily want to remain on this subject. I would just like to take the opportunity of your appearance, Mr. Minister, to ask you a question.
This morning, the newspapers reported the appointment of Mr. Pharès Pierre, who used to be chief of staff in the Aristide government. Many lawyers are wondering about the ethics of this appointment, since this man has been a member of a government that has been harshly criticized for various aspects of its governance.
Are we not in a rather paradoxical situation, since this person might have to deal with refugee cases who claim to have been persecuted under the regime of Aristide? Do you see any ethical issue in this regard? Was your government aware of the record of this individual? What do you propose to do?
