I have been listening to the debate since this morning and I want to congratulate my learned colleague for bringing up a different aspect of this issue. My colleague talked about humanitarian aid. He pointed out the
relationship that exists between Canada's role as a peacekeeper throughout the world and the need to provide humanitarian support to certain areas. He also talked about participating in the organization or the supervision of elections throughout the world.
I think he was the first one in the House today to underline the importance of these two aspects.
I would like to ask my colleague to elaborate further since it is an issue of great concern to most Quebecers and Canadians.
