Mr. Speaker, by the time we return from the Easter break it is estimated another 5,000 people will have died in the Darfur region of Sudan, mainly at the hands of the Janjaweed militia.
This weekend, while Canadian children are looking for hidden Easter eggs, orphaned children in the Darfur region will be foraging for food and looking for places to hide.
We know the government has committed money into Sudan, but the UN has done a Rwanda style pullout of the Sudan region. Will the government commit to pulling together a force that will go into that region and protect those people?
