Mr. Speaker, clearly this is an issue which is becoming very much a priority on the international agenda.
About a month ago we convened a major international meeting of experts to look at how we could deal with the issue of children caught in conflict. With the co-operation of the Minister for International Co-operation and with the Minister of National Defence we are working on what we can do both domestically and internationally to provide direct assistance to children who are carrying arms and involved in conflict to give them the option to go back to their families and school.
We want concrete results on a number of major continents. We want to help form a coalition around the world that will address the problem.
