Mr. Speaker, recently Oren Medick, an Israeli citizen and peace activist with Gush Shalom, visited Quebec to share his concerns about the erection of the security fence, a fortified wall, in the West Bank.
Mr. Medick talked about the terrible consequences for the Israeli and Palestinian people if Prime Minister Sharon's government sticks to its plan.
Allow me to remind members of an important conclusion reached at the European Summit held in Brussels on October 16 and 17, and I quote:
The European Council is particularly concerned by the route marked out for the so-calledsecurity fence in the Occupied West Bank.
This wall is in no way a solution to the deplorable suicide bombings and will certainly not bring peace to this part of the world already hard hit by violence. All of us have a responsibility with respect to what is happening in the Middle East.
