Mr. Speaker, last night I watched a documentary on CBC's "Prime Time News" regarding the mass murders in Rwanda.
I must say I am deeply shaken, as all of us should be, to learn that the genocide of a reported half million people was part of a well planned and premeditated scheme known as network zero. It has also been revealed that many in the international community had been warned of the impending tragedy.
I personally find it absolutely appalling and incomprehensible that the potential for such atrocities to occur was known and yet very little was done.
Why did the global community not mobilize in an attempt to prevent the mass killings? I have to ask also, how did the entire international community fail the people of Rwanda.
It is absolutely imperative that changes be introduced in the United Nations to ensure that the mass murders of men, women, and children never happen again.
