Mr. Speaker, of course we share the same expectations as the minister, but today's events do give us some cause for concern, especially the fact that the military junta is still there and will be, at least until October 15. We can only hope that all this will be over with by October 15, but for the time being, the junta is there, side by side with the U.S. peacemaking force.
I want to ask the minister if he could tell us whether Canada intends to send Canadian police officers to Port-au-Prince without the consent of President Aristide and without waiting for his consent, while there is still some uncertainty about his own return and the role of the military junta.
