It's good analysis. It's just that we as a committee are trying to navigate through the waters of the present-day situation on the ground. We've heard from the international community, the Red Cross, in its reporting, which was absolutely horrific. I note that last night, finally, on a national network, we saw a report. There was some on CBC--I don't know if you saw that--but we haven't seen much reporting. We have heard from journalists about the horrific situation on the ground, for them to actually report on the situation. And of course what's been happening is that some of them have been losing their lives for reporting. So what to make of it. You have provided us with some suggestions.
Maybe, Mr. Cameron, I'll start with you. I am someone who believes strongly in the notion of a federal system being the model for other countries around the world, but it's been described here as the âfâ word that shall not be spoken--in terms of the government, certainly.
If we're looking at a situation where we've got a government that's just saying they're going to wipe the opposition out--that's their goal--can Canada only do something when that is over? Is that it? Certainly the report on the news last night was very clear that they're buoyed by their military progress. So we can't do much else, just wait it out until that military exercise.... I hate to use those words because they kind of sound aesthetic, but is that basically it?
