Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
Most regrettably, the negotiations of recent days to send a multinational force to the great lakes region of Africa are still stalled. The indecision of the international community angers us and makes us wonder about its effects on possible future conflicts in that region of Africa. Despite continued opposition in Kigali, the Minister of Foreign Affairs suggested yesterday that one possible intervention might involve dropping food by parachute for subsequent distribution by humanitarian organizations.
Has the minister obtained a consensus, and, if so, when would this operation begin and how would it work?
