Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Canada is providing humanitarian assistance in Syria but also around Syria. As to Aleppo specifically, perhaps I wasn't clear in my opening statement. While we are watching and we are supporting international organizations, the humanitarian assistance is not coming through. There is a major issue of access in Aleppo but also across Syria. That's a major concern of ours.
We've raised it repeatedly in international forums. We've pressed through the International Syria Support Group partners to pressure both sides of the conflict to enable and to secure humanitarian access to the people who need it, the victims of this conflict.
