The humanitarian needs are immense. There's no guarantee the democratic transition will succeed without humanitarian aid for civilians, because there were problems to begin with.
Canada has invested a lot in humanitarian action to support civil society in Syria. It should continue doing so to support the transition because the situation is quite fragile. Some 1.5 million people are in internal camps, and refugees are returning to Syria. Right now, the war is putting a lot of pressure on gas prices and people's basic needs, so I think the government should continue to help Syria.
