¶1. (SBU) In response to reftel, Department of Foreign
Affairs and International Trade (DFAIT) Senior Advisor for
Defense and Security Relations Sarah Robertson promised to
draft and clear the required correspondence and convey it as
soon as possible to our Charge d'Affaires. DFAIT will ensure
that U.S. officials receive the letter in time to circulate
Canada's qualifications to the Contact Group on Piracy off
the Coast of Somalia (CGPCS),with the expectation that the
Contact Group will approve Canadian membership at its July
2009 meeting, she said.
