Mr. Speaker, we know that the Canadian policy is to suggest and try to convince the allies to impose a tougher military embargo. So far, however, the American president had not clearly stated his position, in particular on increasing the pressure he wants to exert on Haiti, since he is now hinting at armed intervention.
I ask the minister whether the Canadian government endorses the idea of armed intervention as proposed by President Clinton in case the Haitian military rulers refuse to comply with the proposed ultimatum.
