Mr. Chair, I would ask the member from the NDP to clarify her position.
I talked with a personal friend on Saturday who had just returned after spending four years in the Sudan working with a group called the Samaritan's Purse. She was back and forth over the years and has some incredible stories of first-hand incidents. When I indicated to her that we were having this debate this evening, she said that no one would want to go to Darfur in the situation that exists there today.
I personally want to thank those men and women who have sacrificed their personal lives to help others. We do provide the aid, the financial resources and the support in various ways but those people are the ones who actually have their feet on the ground and we thank them for that.
How does the member feel about our government supporting UN Resolution 1706 and doing all it can to move it forward? Does she feel that we should continue to support this resolution or would she accept just moving forward without the invitation--
