Mr. Speaker, the government's efforts to bring about a peaceful solution in Haiti are not without merit, but we must remember that what is happening there today is not very peaceful and that in some situations, we must know how to act effectively with the means at our disposal.
I want to ask the minister why he still believes that reinforcing trade sanctions could bring about a peaceful solution to the Haitian question, since so far, strengthening trading sanctions has had no effect at all on the military junta.
