Mr. Speaker, I greatly appreciate the hon. member's interest in the situation in Haiti.
These are extremely difficult times for Haiti, which comes as no surprise. We had expected insecurity to increase as the elections approached.
Our government, like the rest of the international community and the members of the Organization of American States, through the General Assembly, has reiterated its support for the election process, which we hope to keep as scheduled. However, there is work to be done to ensure security, so that the elections can proceed smoothly.
