Mr. Speaker, along with many other countries we did, during this past week or 10 days, add our voice to the efforts of developing a ceasefire.
We have also committed, this past week, close to $500,000 to give direct assistance to the displaced populations in Lebanon so they can do some reconstruction. We also have over 200 peacekeepers in the area. There is a consultative group that has been established under this new agreement.
We are quite prepared to participate and co-operate with any efforts in those areas. I welcome any proposals or ideas put forward by members of the Chamber, including members of the opposition, as to how Canada can play a constructive role in this very important effort toward a peaceful solution.
