Mr. Speaker, the deplorable situation of children living in war torn regions around the world has been condemned by several members of this House.
Whether it be the situation in Rwanda or the situation in Bosnia, we have all witnessed the senseless slaughter of human life. We have mourned such waste and violence.
What is most unfortunate is that innocent children are caught in the middle of such violence between the bullets, the bombs and the carnage-
-and must suffer the consequences and be the victims of the foolish actions of adults. I applaud those European countries which have opened their hearts to these children and I hope that Canada, a just and humanitarian nation, will see fit to do likewise.
