Your Excellency, thank you once again for being here.
Several thousands of Haitians from my community in Montreal are obviously concerned about the situation in Haiti. As you are no doubt aware, thePrime Minister is currently discussing the situation in Haiti with the ministers concerned. Your appearance on Parliament Hill is important for our government.
I'd like to ask you a question in the wake of the UN report on sexual violence and rape committed in Haiti. As I understand it, sexual violence is used as a weapon of war and is being committed against Haitian women and young girls.
I'd like to understand how you view the situation on the ground and to know how Canada could help the women in Haiti.
