There are 22 elected Tamil representatives in Sri Lanka. They are from the Tamil areas. They have been elected democratically. They can be used as a vital tool to establish peace in Sri Lanka.
I have two young kids. So many Tamil families in Canada have younger kids. Please listen to this very carefully, honourable members. When they see the TV, when they see the images, they are asking, why is my country not playing any role in this conflict? Why is Canada playing a role in other countries and bringing peace in Northern Ireland and Nepal, but not in Sri Lanka?
It's very hard for us parents, as Canadians, to answer this question of our kids.
