Mr. Speaker, the situation in Burma continues to deteriorate and Burma's military junta continues to block effective delivery of aid to those in need. For example, we have seen planes on the tarmac being unloaded by the junta, with no guarantees that this international assistance is getting to the people of Burma.
Many countries have offered assistance and are being denied, even as this denial drives up the death toll.
Could the Minister of International Cooperation update the House on what Canada is doing to help the Burmese people?
