Thank you, Mr. Chair.
We do understand the concern the member has put forward, and we do recognize the severity of the situation taking place in Darfur. Canada is the fourth-largest contributor of humanitarian aid to that region. We are right at the forefront of the Darfur issue.
I just came back from the United Nations, where, under the auspices of the Secretary General, we talked of the current situation in Darfur and the UN hybrid force that is now recommended. Canada is very strongly at the table. We were down in Tripoli at the peace conference. Unfortunately, certain of the rebels did not show up, so the push is still going on, but at this time the major issue still remains for the hybrid force to go into Darfur, which Canada very fully supports.
Having said that, the difficulty we are having with this motion is that the Department of Foreign Affairs and CIDA have nothing to do with investment or divestment. This is something that is with the Department of Finance or the Treasury Board.
Therefore, I would recommend to my honourable colleague that he get his other colleagues in the finance committee or any other committee to bring the relevant officials. The Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade has nothing to do with this issue of divestment. Maybe you would want to try the finance committee to carry on with this motion. You could get the officials from the finance department or officials from Treasury Board to come and answer those questions you have just asked in this motion.
