Ambassador of Canada to Haiti, Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development

I know there were pretty intense talks about this in New York last week and they are continuing this week.

Our ambassador to the United Nations, Bob Rae, is participating in those talks, as are several of my colleagues.

I won't presume to say they are inventing something new. However, from what I know, a mission under Chapter VII has never been carried out that was not under the aegis of the United Nations. This means that everyone has to explain the concepts a little better, and then the permanent members, in particular, will take a position on what is presented. That work is going on very intensely in New York this week.
