Thank you, Mr. Chair. After I get into this, I'm going to give a minute to Ève.
Mr. Daniel spoke about the abuses of the LTTE. I want to be very clear: nobody is trying to minimize the abuses. This was a most unfortunate situation. You had civilians crowded between two warring factions. I want to reiterate that the purpose of this hearing is to put us in a position where we can recommend to our government to call on the United Nations to proceed with a transparent, independent investigation, which has been called for by your organization and others.
We're not attempting to assign guilt one way or the other. It looks like there's plenty of guilt to go around in these particular circumstances.
But beyond requesting that the United Nations has its own investigation, do you have any specific suggestions for other things Canadian parliamentarians could do to aid in this cause? There's a human tragedy that took place. When you watch the Channel 4 video, and with your remarks about the satellite imagery, it is shown very clearly how the people were crowded into different areas. Could you suggest anything else specifically that could we do?
