Mr. Speaker, I answered the question. I said that I met with the president of the Palestinian Authority and various leaders in the Middle East. The one area of competence that Canada has a special responsibility for is helping in the reunification of families and dealing with refugee problems. We have undertaken to provide a major initiative in the Middle East on this matter and I hope to announce it in a matter of days.
