Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
On September 18, there was an attempted coup in Ivory Coast, thrusting the democratically elected government into a precarious position.
Before the situation worsens and gets out of control, as has happened not that long ago in other African countries, does the Canadian government intend to reaffirm its support of the Government of Ivory Coast, a government that was elected democratically in October 2000?
