Mr. Speaker, in January, the Minister of Foreign Affairs said, in his speech to the security council on the Democratic Republic of the Congo, that the time had come for the international community to assume its responsibility through a UN operation.
Will the minister act on his words and say yes to Étienne Tshisekedi, the prominent leader of the Congolese opposition, who came to Ottawa this week to plead for rapid intervention by the UN in the Congo?
