Mr. Speaker, we were all relieved to hear that the U.S. army would intervene in Haiti without bloodshed. However, the main objective of the mission has yet to be achieved, and I am referring to the return of President Aristide, and there are still some major concerns, especially after the Haitian police brutally attacked a demonstration by supporters of President Aristide in the streets of Port-au-Prince last night.
My question is directed to the Minister of Foreign Affairs. Has the minister been given assurances by the U.S. authorities that the return of President Aristide is imminent?
