Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
In answer to a question from the official opposition, the Minister of Foreign Affairs pledged, on March 1st, to ensure "that those who have been trained here in Canada will have full access and opportunity in the Haitian police force".
Three months later, and after a visit from the President of Haiti to Canada and a trip to Haiti by the minister, the situation remains unchanged.
Can the minister tell us why, three months after his commitment in this House, and given that Canada is leading, at its own expense, the UN mission in Haiti, more than 30 police officers trained in Canada are still waiting to be integrated into the Haitian force?
