Mr. Speaker, more and more observers are sounding the alarm in connection with the millions of human beings, many of them children, who might die of starvation in the near future in the context of the bombardments taking place in Afghanistan.
Can a responsible government remain unmoved by such a terrible reality and, consequently, does the Canadian government intend to step up its direct humanitarian assistance in order to avoid a human tragedy of such scope that millions of people might starve to death?
