Thank you.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2371584\" data-originallang=\"en\">We've certainly had exactly the experience you're speaking of, and Richard mentioned that earlier this afternoon, a couple of examples of that. I mean, we've certainly had a situation.... I'm remembering myself in Leogane, where we were looking at the resettlement of some people into some transitional shelter, and we got very far into a conversation with one person who was the mayor of the area and very close to the end\u2014or what we thought was the end\u2014when another person showed up who was the mayor of the next-door area. Both were claiming to be the mayor of the piece of property we were speaking about.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2371585\" data-originallang=\"en\">We have found our way, and I'll let Richard speak a little bit more about this again. We have found our way of validating to all parties and having it sort of authorized by local authorities as to \u201cYes, it is going to be understood\u201d. As we were saying earlier, we've employed some local Haitian lawyers and <em>notaires</em> who are helping us with this process to validate as best we can and have it be understood by all parties and the local authorities that what we are doing is on solid ground, so to speak.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"2371583\" data-originallang=\"en\">Oui. Je vous remercie.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2371584\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous avons constat\u00e9 la m\u00eame chose que vous et Richard a donn\u00e9 deux ou trois exemples, cet apr\u00e8s-midi. J'entends par l\u00e0 que nous avons rencontr\u00e9 un probl\u00e8me... Je me souviens qu'\u00e0 L\u00e9og\u00e2ne, o\u00f9 nous cherchions \u00e0 reloger des gens dans des abris de transition, nous \u00e9tions tr\u00e8s pr\u00e8s de la fin \u2014 ou de ce que nous pensions \u00eatre la fin \u2014 de nos discussions avec le maire de la municipalit\u00e9, lorsque le maire de la municipalit\u00e9 voisine nous a dit que le terrain \u00e9tait situ\u00e9 sur son territoire.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2371585\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous avons trouv\u00e9 une fa\u00e7on de proc\u00e9der et je vais laisser Richard en parler davantage. Nous avons valid\u00e9 les choses avec toutes les parties, et les autorit\u00e9s locales ont en quelque sorte approuv\u00e9 nos conclusions et dit qu'elles seraient respect\u00e9es. Je r\u00e9p\u00e8te que des avocats et des notaires ha\u00eftiens travaillent pour nous et qu'ils nous aident \u00e0 valider les choses et \u00e0 faire comprendre \u00e0 toutes les parties et aux autorit\u00e9s locales que nous nous fondons sur des bases solides, pour ainsi dire.</p>"
