Mr. Speaker, our government knows that the ongoing violence and instability in Chad and Darfur is devastating the lives of millions.
Today, this government announced it is making a significant commitment to support the refugees in the region. Through organizations such as the Red Cross and Médecins Sans Frontières, we will be providing clean water and sanitation, emergency health care, food and shelter, and increasing coordination of emergency services.
Today's announcement means more humanitarian aid for those in Chad and Darfur.
