Mr. Speaker, there is no doubt that Canada supports the return of President Aristide to Haiti.
We believe that a total embargo could bring about the withdrawal of the military people who are holding a suffering population hostage.
If the Americans and a number of other countries through the United Nations pass a resolution to bring a total embargo against Haiti, it is possible the embargo will not be a very long one. It will become very clear to the military people that they cannot stay there and they will resign in the following hours.
It is time to show unequivocally the military people there that they cannot perpetrate the denial of the vast majority of Haitians who voted freely for President Aristide.
