Mr. Speaker, it is not a circumstance in which the Canadian government takes a direct role. That matter has been undertaken by other parties, particularly through the United Nations.
I could comment that through the efforts of my colleague, the Minister for International Co-operation, we have been offering funds for democratic development to help in west African countries that are prepared to start developing support for democratic institutions for better government. We are prepared to continue to offer that support so there can be a ceasefire or an agreement to end the conflict.
My colleague would be prepared to take a look at how we might extend that kind of democratic aid and assistance to that country to help rebuild its institutions.
