Mr. Speaker, I always thought that Canada's policy was to support President Aristide. I wonder if President Aristide cannot rightly ask whether Canada did not support him by signing an agreement with an impostor president who has taken his place, without any reference to President Aristide's own legitimacy.
Did the minister intervene on behalf of Canada with Washington in order to ensure that the return of President Aristide takes place under conditions which respect the Governors Island agreement rather than according to the terms of agreement negotiated last Sunday with the U.S.?
