Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Foreign Affairs. The United Nations Security Council is meeting again today to discuss France's proposal for military intervention in Rwanda.
Through this initiative, France hopes to stop the massacre this week, before the arrival of additional UN peacekeepers. In fact, Canada is preparing to send more soldiers to Rwanda.
Since the situation in Rwanda continues to deteriorate, can the minister tell us when the Canadian contingent of 350 soldiers will be in Rwanda? Also, does the government intend to move quickly to increase its humanitarian assistance efforts in Rwanda?
