Mr. Speaker, while this government dithers, people suffer.
Honest Canadians and NGOs are ready to get on with the reconstruction projects. More than 12 weeks have passed. Not a single matched donation has been paid to the Red Cross or any other Canadian NGO, aside from the initial $3 million promised for tsunami relief.
Canadians know the difference between a lot of hot air and money in the bank. Do the tsunami victims not deserve more than empty promises?
