Mr. Speaker, the situation in Darfur is again getting worse. In order for the UN peacekeeping mission to go ahead it needs helicopters. The UN Secretary General recently said the mission will be put at great risk if it does not receive the helicopters it needs.
Yesterday I asked government officials at committee if Canada would be providing helicopters for the new UN mission. The answer was no.
Could the minister tell the House and Canadians what the government is going to do for the new UN mission?
