Thank you.
There were seven questions in one there. The first part is that I've expressed Minister Cannon's priorities, which are, number one, a humanitarian pause, which is the same as you have said. You can work on the displaced persons--you can do that--but where people are at risk right now is in what you call the corridor, or the conflict zone, whatever you want to call it. So the first priority is a humanitarian pause, the second is to look after the people who are in that area, and the third one is the IDPs. Then we move to...as Mr. Dorion commented, where do we go from there? What does the future look like? Those are the issues.
In a number of different forums--whether it's at the UN, or, for instance, next week I'm going to be at the Asian Development Bank meetings--we'll be talking about Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and a few others in terms of economic situations. That's not the focus of the meeting, but that's part of the discussion. So there are a number of international forums on how to respond to Sri Lanka and how to make sure they understand the seriousness of what's going on. Coming through that, that's one side of the thing.
The second one is kind of the war crimes, genocide issues. Under international law, there is a very clear and specific definition of what that constitutes. At this time, we don't have sufficient information to determine whether the current conflict meets that definition. However, based on reports from people fleeing the situation, both sides seem to have contravened parts of the government's no-fire zone. The Government of Sri Lanka has not respected its own no-fire zone, and worse, it continues shelling into the zone. They've been asked to stop, but even after this no-fire zone, there was shelling. On the other hand, the LTTE has held civilians captive as human shields, which is prohibited. They have also had suicide bombings. You can't just say, “Well, it's war.” It's a situation that both sides have much to answer for, going into the future.
