Mr. Speaker, Canada is deeply saddened by the tragic loss of life and devastation resulting from the disasters in Burma and China. We share the concerns of all Canadians for the victims and their families.
Today I am announcing that our government will match the contributions of Canadians to humanitarian organizations working in Burma and China.
Let me assure all Canadians our government will do our share of the international effort and ensure that our help does get to the victims and their families.
