Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
After the horrors of what happened in Rwanda 10 years ago, the international community vowed never again to stand idly by as a genocide unfolded. But as sad and surprising as it may be, it looks as though we are witnessing another genocide in the Congo.
France has sent out troops under UN mandate, but observers are saying that their numbers are insufficient to control the situation.
Why did Canada not do everything in its power to avert yet another genocide in Africa?
